Artwork

The elements of nature are in constant dialogue, connected by the life energy that imparts movement to everything. This is the message of Arlindo's artwork.

The water element is positioned high, stirred by the wind, linking the sky and the earth. The latter takes on sinuous forms reminiscent of the female body, adorned at the waist with four flowers. These flowers, in red, echo the color of the base, which has also become an integral part of the artwork. The forms are pure, simplified, inviting reflection on the importance of symbols.
