futuro

It has been a difficult time after Almir’s passing for us. We have been looking after the archive and working with a Restaurator to clean and restore paintings that needed care and some paintings are shining bright with new life.

Post pandemic exhibitions are in planning. But in general we have decided to exclusively work only with gallerists who had the chance to personally meet Almir. We are looking forward to realise an exhibition in Brasil in 2021 with our trusted partners and friends Flavio, Peter & Ulisses Cohn from Dan Galeria and we would like to show Mavignier paintings in Europe and Germany.

I am open and very interested to develop new narratives and connect to new audiences to present Almir’s work and one of my interests is to do this through music and the creation of new music for existing works. The Helix project below is an example. Commissioned for the last series of paintings that I created in collaboration with Almir in 2018.

palavra que não tem tradução.
sentimento do que já se passou.

durante o nosso trabalho pintando,  ouvimos musicas de „bossa nova“,  vinicius de morais  „ o branco mais preto do brasil“,  „o nosso amor“ de antonio carlos jobim, ou „manhã de canaval“ do filme „orfeu negro“ 

musicas e textos despertam um sentimento profundo de saudade para quem nasceu brasileiro, de um brasil que não existe hoje como em 1950  foi. confiando meu sentimento ao delmar, no momento em que pintava um tríptico, ele resolveu intitular as tres pinturas de saudade.

eu daria esse nome para toda série de pinturas que fazemos agora
