"I've lived more than 20 years outside of Brazil, basically between Europe and the United States, I returned to the country recently, and in my travels I could improve my technique and art, on a constant exchange of experience with local and professional artists, of the most diverse places in the world. In recent years, I studied and I delved extensively on the topic of Encaustic Painting ", explains Jacqueline Sebe.
According to Wagner Nardy, Curator of the exhibition, in shows, the artist combines, for example, the encaustica construction, snapping up your creations with objects that would be disposed of construction sites. "Right now, Jacqueline try being a kind of negotiator of a compromise between the conflicting wills of those materials and those commonly used in the field of plastic arts, observing and perpetuating a legacy path by sculptor Jose Resende ", Wagner highlights.
