"I decided to create a sea toy, to put my waves into kinesis when they are activated by a crank. I thought of this project as a tribute to the old toys that used this resource to create the illusion of movement. There is a magic in these contraptions that transport us to another time and condition. My sea toy has a desire for affection, to jump seven waves, make a wish and smile."

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.
Among her most recent solo exhibitions are: "From the ideas in the head to the eyes in the sky", 2020 curated by Paulo Herkenhoff, Itaú Cultural, São Paulo; "Cosmic Garden", 2020, Ginza Maison Hermès "Le Forum", Tokyo, Japan; "Landscape of a Lifetime", 2019, Dallas Museum of Art, Dallas, USA; "Noturno", 2019, Casa Triângulo, São Paulo and Appleton Square, Lisbon; "Dibujos", 2018, Galeria Fernando Pradilla, Madrid; "Two forces", 2016, Tanya Bonakdar Gallery, New York; "Chance and Necessity", 2016, Casa Triângulo, São Paulo; "Sandra Cinto: Chance and Necessity", 2016, West Gallery, USF Contemporary Art Museum, Florida; "A Day in Eternity", curated by Yuki Kondo, 2015, Aomori Contemporary Art Center, Aomori, Japan; "En Silencio" curated by David Barro, 2014, Matadero - Centro de Creación Contemporánea, Madrid, Spain; "La otra orilla", curated by David Barro, 2014, Centro Atlántico de Arte Moderno, Canary Islands, Spain; "Encontro das Águas" 2012-2014, Olympic Sculpture Park Pavilion, Seattle Art Museum, Seattle, USA; among others.
