These pieces were inspired by four drawings by my daughter, Debora Camargo, when she was about five years old – and she was already drawing on a computer. They are brief pieces, motivated by what the drawings suggest, and the “explanations” given by the author at the time of creation. The drawings are a pair of fish (
Fish) where the “madame fish” uses a lot of lipstick. A “strange” face, very colorful (
Kmjnh) whose name Debora created from the rhythmic movement of her fingers on the computer keyboard. A “very beautiful lady”, holding flowers (
The Beauty) and a little mouse – looking extremely terrified ... and with very thin legs (
The Rat with the very thin feet).
The Spiral of the Colors of the World is the title of another drawing by my little Debora, whose suggestive power I still reserve for future works – with the express license of the artist.
