"Sandra Cinto took her time creating her Black Bird , and it clearly shows her loving commitment to paying homage to the Beatles and her father, who loved the song so much. She printed the deep blue sky, one of their characteristic features, and took care to detail stars and waves on each of the ten copies. Once this was done, she determined the mechanism that allows the bird/shadow to continue flying and singing into the night, at the rhythm desired by the hand of whoever turns the crank for as long as they want, renewing the song not physically, as a sound fact, but through memory."
Agnaldo Farias
Biography
Sandra Cinto
Throughout her career, Sandra Cinto has developed a rich vocabulary of symbols and lines to create lyrical landscapes and narratives between fantasy and reality. Using drawing as a starting point, the artist often dialogues with architecture, evoking fantastic landscapes that serve as a metaphor for the human odyssey and also pushing the limits and possibilities of drawing. The artist also works with sculpture, installation, photography and engraving.
Sandra, who holds a degree in fine arts, began her career in 1990, while still a student, producing representations of the sky and clouds inspired by the surrealist René Magritte. Her unique style merges visual power and poetic aesthetics to create compositions that allude to mythology. Her artistic practice is characterized by delicate works, in which she usually draws with a pen on a large, usually blue, background. In 1998, the artist participated in the 24th São Paulo Biennial, where the canvas was not a conventional support, but rather the wall of the building itself.
His works are part of important collections, such as: Fundación ARCO (Madrid); Instituto Inhotim (Brumadinho); Institute of Contemporary Art (Boston); Museum of Modern Art (New York); among others.
