As palavras têm poder e podem alterar completamente o curso de uma vida.
Em 2013, fui convidado pela Revista piauí para ilustrar a ficção do escritor Carlos Eduardo Pereira, autor de livros como “Agora Agora” e “Bailinho”. O conto, intitulado “Quem me conhece sabe”, apesar de fictício, é bastante realista e reflete o momento atual, no qual notícias falsas e palavras de ódio são proferidas com naturalidade. Minha ideia ao criar a ilustração foi capturar o ambiente descrito no texto, com elementos de fogo e hostilidade predominantes.

SKETCH
A leitura do texto foi fundamental para encontrar as peças-chave da ilustração. As pessoas se manifestando, andando em manada e sendo atraídas pelo ódio foram o meu ponto de partida.
Reading the text was essential for identifying the key elements of the illustration. People expressing themselves, moving in a herd, and being driven by hatred were my starting points.

Fui adicionando mais elementos ao ambiente, como os traumas e a tensão do personagem que está narrando. A partir daí, tive a visão de que o vermelho deveria ser a cor predominante pela conta do fogo e das tochas.
I kept adding more elements to the setting, such as the traumas and the tension of the character who is narrating. From there, I had the vision that red should be the predominant color because of the fire and the torches.
