Being confined at home, I started to gather objects I could find in the garden, such as leaves, flowers, pieces of ceramics, old chunks of dried paint, broken pencil tips \u2013 they represented what had happened that day. In a similar fashion, I started to write my thoughts, lyrics of songs I was listening to, pieces of conversations I had over the phone, things I wish I could do. \nThese paintings became diaries, a reflection of my inner world. They are extremely delicate, its elements small: to see them the viewer must come closer, must try to piece together the fragmentary nature of the work. The conclusion is not linear, and it\u2019s up to each person to construct their narrative, their surface.\n\nI called them Surface Drawings, playing on its double meaning. In a sense, you can interpret \u201cSurface\u201d as superficial; On the other hand, the title Surface Drawings also arises from its method: they are drawings on a surface, and their value resides in that. \n\nWhat I propose is an exhibition of these works, which are as follow:\n\n\"Surface Drawing I: I Dislike American Humour\" oil and coloured pencil on paper, 65x50 cm\n\"Surface Drawing II: Untitled\", oil, coloured pencil and found objects on canvas, 80x50 cm\n\"Tyngde\", oil, coloured pencil and found objects on twill cotton, 65,5x36 cm\n\"Stillness\", oil, coloured pencil and found objects on twill cotton, 108,5x86,5 cm","space":"The ideal exhibition space would be a white cube. The four works would be displayed as such:\nThe two Surface Drawings ('I Dislike American Humour' and 'Untilted') would be side by side, minding the following measurements:\nSurface Drawing I: I Dislike American Humour - 65x50 cm\nSurface Drawing II: Untitled - 80 x 50 cm\n\nFacing them would be the other two works, minding the following measurements:\nTyngde - 65,5x36 cm\nStillness - 108,5 x 86,5 cm\n\nMinimum space for the exhibition: 5m x 5m","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":null,"audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"fileCount":7,"names":"In\u00eas Miguel","surname":"Oliveira","email":"senimoliv@gmail.com","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"CB099702","address":"Rua do Rio Ave, 2024, 4800-615","city":"Prazins Santa Euf\u00e9mia","nacionality":"Portuguese","country_id":"185","birthdate":"1996-10-10T23:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1996-10-10T23:00:00.000Z","telephone":"00351 966763772","web":"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/inesmoliv\/"}
