Carla Taveira is divided between two worlds, law and the arts and both are intrinsically linked to her vision as an artist and as a human being. Her paintings seek to deconstruct reality through various materials in order to make them unique.
You developed side by side law and the arts, how does all this is processed?
Carla Taveira: It started as a joke. I always liked painting and developed the hypothesis after having access to paints, the brushes and start painting, then evolved.
Now you dedicated exclusively to the arts?
CT: No, I love what I do in terms of law and it is a passion. The arts are a supplement that has become important from a certain point when people started too really like the works and so I had to start working more.
So how do you define as an artist?
CT: It is difficult to speak in terms of a definition. I have some themes and usually paint what I like, for example, books. Other topics I addressed that I like are my travels.
Thru a graphic journal?
CT: No. I like to draw books and I think it has to do with the legal part and I enjoy traveling so I often take photographs of details of the facades of monuments, and interiors and those are moments that I reflect my painting.
You use various techniques in your work all this is also important?
CT: Yes, because if my paintings I have not raised enough beard I do not like them. I paint, but I have to employ my hands, I mold the material need and use cardboard, wood, plastic, wire everything imaginable. When I finish work is very straight and I have to begin to undo it.
You do a deconstruction of you work is that?
CT: Exactly, and in almost all of my works there this aspect.
Because they cannot be perfect is that?
CT: It has to do with it, if the paintings are very alike the real thing you have photography for that, and you don’t need to portray them. You need to do something different and that's the idea.
