Sendo - a experiência do tempo na pintura

Tese de mestrado, Pintura, Univedrsidade de Lisboa, Faculdade de Belas Artes, 2014This investigation presents the experience of time as in the core of artistic creation. However, time will not be analised directly — but, instead, through some of its effects: the most pertinent effects to the artist, starting with the relation between matter and form. It's that inseparable character of these two elements that is going to require our atention: the creator tries to present time as visible, precisely through the inseparability of matter and form. It will then be a matter of understanding different — and contradictory — conceptions of the pair form-matter, to elucidate the profound confront in which permanence conflicts with the flow, with the continuous imposed to us by the sensible perception. Finally, approaching that flow, we propose the notion of rythm (or metamorphosis), so that we can get closer to the experience of time in paintin
