egg tempera on paper, partly painted with pigments processed from jacaranda flowers, seeds of a jacaranda tree sewed in cotton

I collected flowers fallen from jacaranda trees in the streets of Lisbon and processed/transformed them into pigments. Their intense lila faded into green-brown as seen in the branch of the painting. The jacaranda tree keeps on sharing its own memory in a beautiful way- whenever it blooms. This happens in Portugal twice a year, in spring and in autumn- when it is spring in its land of origin, Brazil.

During a very hot summer day, I painted melting ice cubes on a plate. Due to the high temperature in my room, I had to work fast to freeze the cubes into images before they disappeared.
