The exhibition “Frestas” (“Cracks”) was held in 2006 in the downtown São Paulo mansion known as “Casa de Dona Yayá” (“Mrs. Yayá’s House”), a cultural center that belongs to the Universidade de São Paulo. The exhibition was held as the final stage of my master’s degree at the same university. In it there were paintings and photographs that meant to dialogue among themselves based on a view of the city, especially in places marked by a certain abandonment: walls, chasms and facades that present themselves as witnesses of times that overlap and have passed, where the accumulation of matter lends elements of the nature of painting to the images.
