Rays of sunshine is Art.
Amira Hassan: Tell our readers your artistic background.
Augusto: My artworks are about the ancient and eternal connection between humans and nature. We are part of nature, our bodies, our love, our feelings, and our imagination…everything. So I focus on drawing about this connection.
2. How did you come across your creative side?
I’m used to drawing ever since I was a little child. Childhood, in my opinion, is the precise time to explore one’s imagination, mature adults usually forget about this concept. I think artists should always remember how important it is to keep their imagination alive. therefore, it’s so fundamental for me to keep creating art! I deeply need it! while My soul needs it! and It’s considered to be a spiritual practice.
3. Why have you chosen this aesthetic theme for your Instagram page?
It was a natural choice. I just can’t explain it exactly! I just connected my artworks with the ancient aesthetic just because it’s all so connected. The theme of my artwork is all about the ancients too. I don’t draw about a specific time or place but the ancients are an inspiration because they have a particular look to humanity in their gods and philosophy. So in reality the Ancient Greek and Roman aesthetic matches with my artworks.
4. What is the message you want to spread in the creative world?
I think the deep message in my artwork is that we have to look towards ourselves with kindness, and accept our humanity. We love, we feel, hence we are humans. Sometimes we are faced with complicated feelings, however, it’s all about our inner worlds, and it’s also about the connection between nature and human beings. In brief, our human experience shall always include imagination as its core totality.
5. Can you share your creative process in making your aesthetic Art page?
My creative process is so organic. I simply sit in my chair and start drawing . Sometimes I manage to record it and share it on my social media. Also, I love to imagine a particular world that I build with each art piece. So I’m always thinking about these imaginative worlds , getting inspiration from them, and draw parts of these creative worlds.
7. Where does your inspiration come from?
I get inspiration from numerous things. The concept of humanity considers a major inspiration for me , such like the correlation with other people, and my bond with family. Nature is inspiring too. I’m a history teacher so my interrelation with ancient times touches my heart. All the sentimental forms of creativity such as movies and music, gives me various ideas, for example, I love Lana Del Rey’s music and all her melancholic vibes, so I sense its connection and similarity with my artworks in a certain way.
11. What would you love to achieve in your dream plans?
I plan to keep spreading my stylistic way of drawing lines to the world. I’ve never traveled before to other countries, never left Brazil my home country, however, I know my art pieces can reach global places that I’ve never will be, so that’s ok for me.
12. Do you think there is something you can bring to this world through your art on your page?
The world of social media gives me the ability to connect with people. I benefit from my page to sell my artworks in a tattoo form, in digital prints and other forms of creative collaborations such as branded stamp blouses and mugs that are sold around the world and it genuinely makes me feel so happy. It’s all about the lines and their connection with my audience.
