I always thought that freedom is the fundamental element of art. And freedom means being able to use the necessary for the idea of the moment.
Waltercio Caldas started his career in the context of the Brazilian experimental art of the late 60’s. His work is related to Neo-Concretism. The multisensorial approach to the artwork was a fundamental issue in the developement of a new concept of art.
Waltercio Caldas explores the boundaries between the presence and the void, what exists and what we don’t see but can intuit or guess and between what is present and that which is not apparent. The perception of space, the scale and the aesthetics are central traits of his work that translate into visual poetry an invitation for the viewer to reflection.
