✨ Story & Meaning
"Carpe Diem" invites us to fully embrace the now. Inspired by the famous Latin expression — meaning “seize the day” — this two-part work reflects the urgency and beauty of living the present with intensity, even knowing time is fleeting.
More than a phrase, it’s a philosophy: each brushstroke represents the passing of days, the choices we make, and the poetry found in presence. A creation that stirs both the eye and the soul — between the freedom of the moment and the marks it inevitably leaves behind.
🌿 About the Truck Tarp
This artwork was created on 100% cotton reclaimed truck tarp — a rustic and durable material used for over a decade to protect cargo across Brazil’s highways. Each small hole, seam, or mark is part of its journey and, far from being flaws, they are signs of history.
This sustainable raw material, with over 100 years of tradition in Brazil, is restored and transformed into art. Once painted, it carries strength, ancestry, and authenticity in every inch.
