Era uma noite quente na Lapa. Entramos em um bar abarrotado que rolava um samba. Encostamos em um canto e dali eu pude ver toda a magnitude daquele lugar. Por alguns minutos o samba parou e tudo ficou em silêncio. Eu observava todas aquelas pessoas sorrindo. E dançando. Todas as cores. Todas as luzes. Às vezes eu acho que tenho sorte de estar no lugar e hora exata que vejo uma pintura. Mas também percebo que esses sempre foram os meus lugares. Não teria como sair outro tipo de pintura.
It was a hot night in Lapa. We entered a crowded bar that was playing samba. We stood in a corner and from there I could see the magnitude of the place. For a few minutes the samba stopped and everything fell silent. I watched all those people smiling. And dancing. All the colours. All the lights. Sometimes I think I'm lucky to be in the exact place and time that I see a painting. But I also realise that these have always been my places. There's no other kind of painting.
