Two sculpture artists, Flávia Sáfadi and Paula Delmanto, so close and so distant in their dreams in search of plastic forms, to model the substances that fall on their hands and are, in their turn, transformed into bold and audacious sculptures in their individual contexts.
These artists were attracted to images that emerged in an imaginary course, of which the direction was already outlined, waiting for their
presences to give start to the artistic metamorphosis, when the raw matter gained shape to be appraised by the observer who is eager for the new, but which at the same time retain vestiges of personal sensitivity and satisfaction.

Pulsations, Torsions
This process occurred from the encounter of these two characters – the artists – at a distinct space, at first a little shadowy, but which opened doors for them to awake their creation instincts, through an intense flame, inherent to the personalities of each one of them.
In the casual encounter of Flávia and Paula, there was no premise of sharing their artistic activities, but the synergy between them, the empathy, the same experiences of artistic production allowed a duality on the production of works, with antagonistic characteristics sometimes and, in others, making them remember their origins.
They present in their productions aspects of the human condition, imaginary figures, inanimate objects, representations of real facts or characters exacerbated by the own peculiar imagination of these artists.
The sculptural production of each work by Flávia and Paula is so consonant that these pieces do not conflict, do not rival and, however, harmonize; allowing each one of them to present with their latent visual communication potential.
