This is "the lost link ", one of my most expressive and strong wood carving work. It also belongs to my main theme , the human - animal.

The work has , as a central element , a naked woman ( almost all nudity censored ) . There exists an attitude of " try to stand " with a contained pose , head down , and hair pulled .

Three figures of wild animals are seen above the woman , apparently keeping away from her. These figures , in artwood sculpture, are presented as being inserted into a kind of " aura " or energy. A little bit of this "aura" is still remaining in the woman , although almost all of this energy is out , along with the animals , going in the opposite direction of the female figure .

In fact , this woman can not rise because it has lost its driving force . And this force is in the energy of the  wild animals that follows scaping from her. The human figure has no resources because its main source is gone . The "link" that further strengthened her brokes .

Wood: Jequitibá-rosa (brazilian wood)

Dimensions: 71cm x 36cm x 4cm

Forsake the existing wild spirit in humanity is to weaken the human universe . When man moves away from what is deep inside of human being , he loses his life energy and can not rise .

The " lost link " is a art woodcraft that makes us reflect on the loss of true humanity . It is easy to see how humanity, today, is weak and powerless, easily succumbing to a ruthless and predatory artificial structure . This lack of power, in the woodcarving, is symbolized in breaking the energetic connection between the human figure and animal figures . Without this "wild spirit" will be more difficult to get the rebuild , and, unfortunately, we will continue weaked before what is making us lose our humanity.

The "human universe without humanity" that surrounds us is the picture of this woman in this wood carving, a human being without strength to stand up, head down, contained in posture, and hair pulled back, where his feeling of freedom ( expressed in the nakedness of woman ) can only be shown in censored form ( the vagina and breast hidden). We are and we can be much more than this, since man can reconnect with what really is part of human nature. All of this shows , once again , how complex is the essential , inevitable and important relationship between humans and the wild.

My Friends, this is another one of my wood carving work that belongs to the theme "human animal." "Motherhood" is an artwood that, definitely, is not what it seems to be.

Watching  with a inattentive look, we will see just one breastfeeding common scene, with another person in the background watching with an expression of contentment. But, if we look well in this woodcraft, we´ll can see something seemingly stranger with the child.

This baby, breastfed by a woman with golden hair, looks like a "puppy", because an infant with hairy ear, hairy arm and pointed ear definitely is not an ordinary child. It´s a newborn human-animal fusion.

The woman who offers her breast for a hybrid human-animal, in order to nourish and strengthen the "puppy", could not have his hair colorized with another color, but the gold. The Compassion and the greatness of the humanity being used to increase power to no human figure deserves, certainly, be exalted with the color of the sun.

Wood: Brazilian arana cedar

Dimensions: 60cm x 30cm x 3cm

Several females of different animals already offered her breast to others who are not of their kind, such as the famous "wolf" would have nursed the founders of Rome. This behavior is virtuous, and the sight of a human being behaving with such compassion is to dignify. All this demonstrates intensely the importance to look at the wild world, because it can to redeem us, both as animals, and as beings who seek balance and harmony.

The vision of contentment from the woman in the background reinforces that this type of action thrills mankind in that it still has power. It shows us that, despite everything, we still have something inside us with talent to recognize the virtue and greatness, even existing a structure that conditions us to be indifferent to it.

This image of human compassion remembers the "ancient mankind", lost humanity that human beings need to recover urgently. It also shows something that i like to present in my woodcarving, that healthy and harmonious connections are ever possible when we think about the important, inevitable and indispensable relationship between humanity and the wild.
