✨ Story & Meaning

Memories is a tribute to the stories that shaped us. It evokes childhood innocence, family gatherings, carefree play, first love that never happened — but could have — and the warmth of a grandparent’s embrace that we wish we could feel once more.

Painted with emotion and rooted in lived experience, the artwork expresses a longing not for the past itself, but for the feeling of fullness and simplicity that it once offered. Each brushstroke is like a flashback: sweet, real, and irreplaceable. This is not just a memory — it’s a visual diary of what made us who we are.

🌿 About the Truck Tarp

This piece was created on a reclaimed 100% cotton truck tarp — a material rich in history, which once traveled the roads of Brazil protecting goods through years of sun, wind, and rain.

Every mark, seam, or fray in the tarp is not a flaw — it is part of the story. When transformed into artwork, the tarp becomes a canvas of memory, strength, and environmental awareness. A story layered upon another — both raw and refined.
