Thank you to Amanda Millet Sorsa for her thoughtful interview of André Ricardo in Whitehot Magazine of Contemporary Art!
Amanda Millet Sorsa asks, “Why do you think, in Brazil, color expresses such spirituality?”
André Ricardo muses, “Color is part of our cultural expression. It is so diversified. In our forest, our different kinds of plants, animals, nature, fruits, the taste and color of the fruit… color is part of our tropical environment. The population expresses the importance of color in their celebrations, their clothes, and the façade of the house. It’s not only a spiritually specific manifestation, but it’s a color expressed in different situations.”
