The artwork "RIO", by Maria-Carmen Perlingeiro, condenses in its circular form the essence of the artist's sculptural research, marked by the dialogue between light, matter, and transcendence. Made of alabaster and gold, it presents the translucent surface of the stone, traversed by organic veins, upon which rests a golden line that suggests horizon, mountain, or flow.
Minimalist and poetic, "RIO" evokes the geography and atmosphere of the artist's hometown. Born in Rio de Janeiro, she lives in Switzerland and produces her alabaster sculptures in Tuscany. The delicacy of the material and the symbolic intensity transform the piece into an image for contemplation, a territory that connects the gaze to space, the landscape to memory, the stone to time.
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.
