About this artwork
The term "Saudade" is a Portuguese word deeply rooted in the culture of Portugal and Brazil. It has no direct equivalent in other languages, but it is often described as a melancholic or nostalgic feeling, a mixture of sadness, longing, and loss.
For me as an artist, melancholy is a feeling that drives me to create.
Astrud Gilberto captured the essence of saudade in her performances, not only through the lyrics of the songs, but also through the… way she sang them. Her soft, almost whispery voice and minimalist vocal style conveyed an emotional depth that touched listeners around the world. Her singing is often described as nonchalant, but it is precisely this approach that amplifies the feeling of saudade: she seems to be singing about memories, longings...

« My research takes the direction of "parasitic" minimalism. I claim the expression of a rigorous geometric structure endangered by the soft and hazardous trace of the brush. »
Originally from the tranquil scenery of Switzerland, Patrick Piccinelli set forth on an enriching academic journey that took him to the distinguished corridors of ECAL (University of Art and Design, Lausanne, Switzerland), a stronghold of artistic brilliance on the global frontier. The respected tradition of flawless typography for which Switzerland is famed, coupled with the deep-seated influences of Swiss graphic design, known for its austere, minimalistic, and refined aesthetics, significantly guided Piccinelli’s artistic path. His palette is firmly rooted in geometric minimalism, a stylistic reverberation reminiscent of the illustrious “Zürich movement.” This era of artistic zeal was pioneered by notable figures such as Max Bill, Richard Paul Lohse, and Verena Loewenberg, luminaries who were the frontrunners of geometric or constructed artistry. His works have recently been acquired by collectors in the United States, Japan and Europe.
