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.
