Acerola Mural Art

Mural size:
1 ft x 1 ftAbout this mural:
This is a watercolor and graphite painting I created using watercolor paint and hand made gouache from old bricks I collected in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I create paint using minerals/objects I find during my walks, break them down into pigment, and hand mull them with binder to make paint. This piece touches on my experience as a Brazilian immigrant and memories of sitting on my great grandmothers back porch drinking tea with the women in my family. I would draw with Acerola cherries onto the table cloth from her Acerola tree in the backyard.
