Brazilian Mónica Mindelis (born in 1978) is, among the six protagonists of PALIMPESTS, the one who moves the furthest away from figuration, even though her work, profusely experimental and philosophical, derives from real references and establishes a clear connection with the dimensions of her own body, as in the example of the cocoon object which is centrally positioned in the display. We stem from it towards the exploration of lines and threads of different materials which then serve as basis to the drawing and definition of the set that wanders between the “air and dreams” of Bachelard’s metapoetics and Dante Alighier’s (1265-1321) purgatory. In PALIMPSESTS the artist presents a set of unique masterpieces which interact namely with Sara Maia’s work and which bring together conceptual reminiscences of times and spaces shared by other protagonists.
