“Together, the works of Thalita Hamaoui and Mariana Palma form a powerful dialogue about the forces that shape both the physical landscape and the human experience.”

“Under the pink ipê” presents the work of Thalita Hamaoui (1979, São Paulo) and Mariana Palma (1981, São Paulo), two artists united by a common exploration of nature, memory, and transformation. While their technique and approaches differ, a shared intensity permeates their work. Hamaoui's bold use of oil stick and saturated palette conveys this fervor, while Palma translates it through layered compositions where texture and subject matter are arranged through repeated processes of overlapping, addition, and stacking.  Within this vibrant and shared space, viewers are invited to reimagine their relationship with the living world and reflect on the delicate balance between the organic and the artificial, the ephemeral and the eternal.
