"By gaining autonomous space, the work can take risks in the environment (...). Less than the risk of being diluted in space, reliefs suspended in the air, the risk of the work is to dilute its content of aesthetic truth by remaining so close to the sentimental. The "Drops" signal, in this sense, the maturity of Maria-Carmen Perlingeiro's language by assuming, in the problematic context of contemporary art, its ineradicable share of purity — formal purity, affective purity. Devoid of irony, the "Drops" (tears) maintain only the indispensable margin of mimetic distance. Moreover, they identify formally and emotionally with their motif. Of course, these are not tears of lamentation, nor the bitter tears of anger or resentment. They are spontaneous reactions, part of the chemistry of life, the reverse of a smile.
Hence they are isolated, reappearing here and there, adaptable to different places and situations. Tears occur suddenly, about everything and nothing, love and death, a painting or a film. What the "Drops" series definitively accepts, in the whole work, is the pure record of feeling, somewhat against the almost official cynicism that dominates contemporary artistic culture."

Biography
Maria-Carmen Perlingeiro
Maria-Carmen studied at the School of Fine Arts at UFRJ, but graduated from the École Supérieure d'Art Visuel. The sculptor also studied in New York and when she visited Sérgio Camargo's studio she discovered the sculptural possibilities of marble. However, the raw material of her choice was Tuscan alabaster, which has a transparency permeated by spots and waves.
In the 1990s, he won the Darier Hentsch & Cie Bank Prize in Geneva, competing with 249 artists from around the world. His collective and individual exhibitions have taken his works to countries such as Brazil, France, Switzerland and Italy. He participated in the 13th and 14th editions of the São Paulo Biennial.
