Feijão continues his research/explanation of the great universal mythological themes: the creation of the universe, of the world, and of humanity and its epic and tragic passage on Earth. Drawing is a discipline without a master in which the artist learns to make his own choices, create his own constellations, and invent his own individual cosmogonies and mythologies. Silent and solitary, the path of the shadow and the gap, a work in darkness.
