Program note:
Três Relevos (three landscapes) are inspired by three different geographical formations and the expressive contents associated to them. The movements are executed without stop. Escarpments are repetitive, full of slopes and edges that limit them. In the Hills there end the sharp tips, and the elevations are more linear and gradually ascending. The Plains where we arrive are flat but swept by winds, hence the static agitation. The work is a kind of painting of these landscapes.
