Creations

There is always beauty around us. This is a gift of existence, available to us at all times.

It is this beauty that drives me to create. Within it, I like to go a little beyond the initial perception of things.

I enjoy the various possibilities of experiencing beauty.

And the multiple beauties that can coexist in the same point.

One thing being many things at once.

I draw. And I draw in various formats, all sharing the plurality of lines.

A line represents many things at the same time. I use an ancient technique that creates a figure through the movement of lines.

In practice, the continuous displacement of lines fills a surface through the repetition of identical figures, formed by displaced lines that overlap perfectly.

Each figure carries these special lines that imbue them with different meanings.

Thus, a work formed by repeating and interlocking figures captures attention, necessary for understanding that it is not only the depicted figure that is there.

But that each line represents two parts of the figure simultaneously.

The attention captured brings the viewer into a personal moment, away from anything except observing something beautiful, transporting them to a possible natural reality.

I represent what surrounds me, especially the wild nature of Brazil.

I like the idea that some people will raise their awareness of the native heritage that still surrounds us.

I seek traditional fitting solutions with pencil and paper.

Having solved the riddles of perfect fits, I need technology to engrave or cut lines that must be executed with absolute precision.

We understand that the material result must also seek the unattainable perfection, and therefore, despite the use of technology, there is always great effort from everyone involved in the process of pursuing beauty.

Here, human care has great power when adding good things beyond beauty to our creations. For us, technology is a tool.

Each of our creations carries, in its Certificate of Authenticity, our seal Aqui Tem Mão Humana ("Here, There’s Human Hand"), reminding that human care is always indispensable.

Technology today allows precise reproduction of graphic design almost exactly as desired.

The design can be printed on paper, fabrics, cast, engraved, cut in wood or its compounds, acrylic, steel, aluminum, rock, glass, ceramics, and transformed into almost anything one desires to express.

Even in flowers.

Today, at Esfera Nativa, I continue creating in search of refinement in using resources to close planes with repeated figures.

As seen in Artworks executed in various materials serving different purposes.

Among the creations presented, all from 2009 to October 2023, have the co-authorship and partnership of Cristina Yamada while at Aryaú.

From October 2023 onwards, I, Claudio Araujo, assumed the activities of Aryaú Design, creating Esfera Nativa from this rich experience. And it is here, in this structure, that I have been creating.
