For this exhibition, we are pleased to present the series "Caterpillars" from the Brazilian-New York based artist Fernando Ferreira de Araujo. Immersed into his strong expressionist language, we're taken to the spiritual and mystical facet of the artist. Through his work, Ferreira de Araujo has always invited us to his most inner journeys, at the same time, surfacing our most deep feelings and insights.

 "The series ‘Caterpillars' represents the power of mutation, the wonder of changing from one being to another. I also honor the ‘Guardian Angels' and forces that have always remained by our side, at all times. Specially at those moments we mistakenly believed there was nothing to hold on to. Then, we found the strength we had never thought we had before. As a matter of fact, we didn't have it. It was given to us by the Guardians, who have always accompanied us, and we so much take it for granted."
