The work "Triologia do Gorfo/ Trilogy of Nausea" portrays three parts of a process of nausea that turns into vomiting. An involuntary but necessary movement to expel impurities from the body. Here, the "impurities" are feelings of anger and unrest, revolt.

The piece "Expansion of the Internal Movement" is the continuation of a new visual and expressive phase. Expressiveness takes precedence over symbolism. The strength of expression is heightened more than the intellectual process. With this work, it is possible to connect with expressive internal movements of the artist.

The sculpture "Unidentified Internal Movement" is the first clay piece molded from a new perception. The emerging phase now leaves behind the figurative and symbolic to embrace movement. A movement that, up to this point, connects with internal emotions and feelings. An internalized movement externalized, yet still unknown to me.

''A vaca''/"The Cow" appears after the death of the bull. After some time and elaboration on the past theme, circled by the representation of the phallus, the strength of the woman emerges. With the change of symbols, the sacred cow presents itself. Strong and attentive, ready to face the world and put an end to its oppressions.

The work ''A Morte do Boi'' / "The Death of the Bull" is the final piece in the Erotika or Violence collection. In this piece, the bull is killed. The initial idea of the collection, representing the bull as a sexual predator, as an icon of pleasure and desire, is here concluded. With its death, the phallus disappears, and desire becomes free to occupy other symbolic spaces.

The piece ''Entre a Loucura e Paralização'' / "Between Madness and Paralysis" is the first and also the last piece of a new moment. After an existential resolution of the Erotika collection, we encounter a new phase that now explores the origin of the impossibility to change. In my case, an incessant struggle between myself, madness, and what paralyzes me. I say the first work because it represents the beginning of understanding time. And last, I say, because something that is still in the process of resolution, awaiting a new path, freer and more stable, which I call SuperNova.

''O Desejo Que Doma O Desejo'' or ''The Desire That Tames the Desire'' it's the second piece in Erotika or Violence collection.

A strong representation of desire.
The Taurus Man, in his place of intimacy, is dominated by his own desire. In many ways, we can also perceive the animalistic act.
Man, being tamed by himself. Chained to your desires, erasing the ego.

''Segunda Fase do Ato Violento'' or ''Second phase of the violent act'' is a piece in the collection of Erotika, Desire and Violence.

This painting represents the post act, the second phase of the act: which was violent. A strong representation of sexuality is ejaculation (symbolically).

The colors used in the painting bring an immaturity and sweetness in the face of violence. Innocence.
