About the book
Silence lives in a closed mouth. Darkness, in a moonless night. Everything has a home... but one in particular (real or utopian?) is the great desire of all of us. In this sensitive and powerful book by Marilda Castanha, the reader is introduced to the different types of homes, in the most varied forms, from the moment of birth until the home empties and bids farewell to its inhabitant.

exhibition Sem Palavras
The documentary series “Sem Palavras”, which premiered on Canal Arte 1 in March 2025, brings together 13 of the most prominent artists in Brazilian illustrated books. On the occasion of this premiere, we held an event at the gallery, when we began to exhibit and sell works by all these illustrators.
About the artist
MARILDA CASTANHA was born in Belo Horizonte, the city where she grew up, always drawing. In the late 1980s, while studying Fine Arts at the Federal University of Minas Gerais, she began illustrating children's books. Years later she decided to tell stories, some without text, and won several awards, including the 2000 Jabuti Prize for Illustration.
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.
