Biography

Santo André, Brasil, 1968

 

            Sandra Cinto falls into the category of artists whose fundamental mission is to explore space, whether in its intimate or universal dimension. Cinto's visual glossary functions as a revealing thread of what happens in her creative genesis, blending a journey through art history with personal travels. Through sculpture, drawing, painting, and installation, her main aspiration is to transform art into a stage where aesthetic and psychological experiences converge, from childhood evocations to experiences of maturity.

            Throughout her career, Cinto has created lyrical landscapes and narratives that oscillate between fantasy and reality. In "Construcción" (2006), Sandra Cinto transformed Casa Triángulo into her own private chapel and filled the space with thousands of stars and celestial bodies drawn and painted by hand on small sheets of paper. In "Bajo el sol y las estrellas" (2004), presented at the Museo de Pampulha in Belo Horizonte, she once again appropriated the modernist utopian space to build a timeless space filled with images of light (photographs and drawings), with fragments of bodies. These representations, which often interact with the surrounding architecture, generate the illusion of universes in constant spiral, challenging drawing conventions.

            The use of metaphors, such as water and sky, transforms exhibition spaces, offering viewers access to a poetic dimension of the cosmos. Revolution, according to her, lies in human connection. Her art proposes an inward-expanding journey. The abyssal sensation of her works is revealed in landscapes that awaken nostalgia and float like ruins of memory, inviting exploration of the immeasurable, resonating with Romantic painting.
