Revolutionart #35 - Human Being

How did you begin to
combine illustration and
photography with other
tools like graphic design and
photomontage?
Generally, my work begins with the
model – her posture and beauty
inspire me. I see the light used, and
if it is neutral, it’s easier to work with.
Based on the model, I start creating
the environment around her. I try to
imagine the final result of the image.
Often, it results in a completely
different way from what I had
imagined; in others, the initial image
dies in itself because if inspiration
does not come, it’s no use insisting.
If you could develop your
creativity in the perfect
place, what would that
place be like?
My favorite place is to create in my
room, alone and in silence - usually,
in the company of my dog ??...
LOL. However, the most inspiring
place that I’ve been to, and in which
it would probably be very easy to
create, is a small town in England
called Whitby. I’ve been there twice
with my husband, and it is awesome!
What are your personal
tastes in terms of food,
music, clothes, books and
movies?
I love eating meat in spite of loving
animals. So I think I should stop doing
it because I love them. New Age is
my favorite style of music; Enya’s
music is what I listen to when I go to
the gym. I also love Freddie Mercury
(Queen), Dire Straits and Pink Floyd
(all from the days of my youth).
During my work, I prefer listening
to the sound of silence. My clothing
style is informal, tending to be sexy.
All of my books, without exception,
focus on Allan Kardec’s Doctrine,
which is widespread in Brazil despite
having started in France and USA. My
favorite movies are the light romantic
ones. My favorite actors are Richard
Gere and Sandra Bullock. To me the
Oscar should go to “Our Home” – a
Brazilian spiritualist movie.
