Immortal Nature 22

Sergio Benetti, Brazil

Urban Poems I have been spreading poems around the city for years. Yes, I understand my art as poems, the art of photographing, capturing moments and feelings all over the city, not only in São Paulo, but throughout Brazil and even abroad. My art came to save what was lost in me. Creating a breathing space between the chaotic daily life of urban landscapes and dialoguing with the population through artistic creation are some of the main goals of my art. Between images, colors, drawings and interventions, transforming spaces, reinventing objects and providing the possibility of new thoughts to those who walk through my creations. The idea is to bring more life to the emptiness that accompanies the daily lives of many people and enable moments of affection and encounter through the possibilities of recognition and reflection provided by art. Between busy routines and races, urban art, democratic and accessible, dialogues and questions the surreal world in which it operates. I consider myself a privileged man for my creative work. Art has this role of dialoguing with the population and I believe that people like a more colorful life. An artist often paints and gives life to spaces that take on another meaning in everyday life.
