RESUMO
What originated this research was maybe a certain disturbance, an uncomfortable situation. Situation that has no other cause but the question: is it possible to paint? If it is, how is it possible? I see painting as a necessary expressive means, and such as other means, it has its own issues and questionings. After a few death sentences and rebirths, attached to historical circumstances, painting has returned to the medium status, a means to get to something. Starting from this principle, I decided to observe how the painting is made and how it can be made. The objective of this research is to comprehend painting better. To comprehend it not as a phenomenon, but as an experience, as a field of possibilities where choices are made. To show that, I intent to use my encaustic painting work, analyzing its development and pointing out the choices made during its own practical process. The observations and reflections registered in this text are in a certain way submitted to the practical work, which precedes them. These observations try to register the process of artistic creation as a way of producing knowledge, which has its own timing, its own language. The work will turn into an exhibition, a physical occupation of a space, during certain time. And adding to that, the text indicates some points that I consider important to the understanding of its creation process, defining some steps in the development of the work, and proposes a reflection on the choices made and its possible senses
