About the book
“O Olho Bom do Menino is a story that helps us reflect on existence from a perspective that we are not always accustomed to: darkness. But it is not a darkness that should scare us. On the contrary, it is meant to remind us of our “ancestral eyes” so that we can enter our spirit.
If I can give one piece of advice to anyone who comes into contact with this work, it is: Close your eyes! This is the only way we can understand the complexity of having the sense of sight, but only having access to our being when we let it reveal itself to us. Having our eyes closed – even when we have its light – is an important antidote to the blindness that haunts our existence.
Listening to the protagonist of this story is a way for us to exercise our humility, combat our arrogance and learn from other eyes.”
I wish everyone and everyone a good read!

About Fine Art Printing
These are those created with techniques and materials that use the most rigorous criteria today to achieve an impression with museum longevity.
The papers are 100% cotton. The inks, which are made of mineral pigments, are not soluble in water, therefore they do not fade. And the color fidelity, by using RGB, is much greater than common printing.
A work printed in fine art, therefore, deserves to be signed and numbered, and can last a lifetime.
