About this artwork

This work was supposed to be figurative, made in mosaic with pieces of recycled wine corks. The pain in my hand forced me to change it. The panel was a bit damaged, but I liked it the way it was. So I scratched it and left some defects visible, to signify human imperfection; I painted it with wine and coffee, adding gold to cover its “wounds”, as in the Kintsugi technique, because beauty lies in non-perfection, lies in what is natural, because nothing… is perfect, nothing is finished and nothing is lasting. This is human DNA, this is my work, which will follow the natural course of wine aging, going from the most intense tones to the softest, like the human cycle. The important thing is to follow your heart.

Luciana Vilas Boas, from breast cancer survivor to artist, uses recycled corks from wine bottles as a medium. He developed an extraordinary technique of cutting and gluing corks, creating shapes like a puzzle, with shades obtained from the pieces naturally colored by the wine. Her works portray her feminine emotions and convey a strong message of recycling, health and love for life.
