(P) Em 2015, meu primeiro verão em Provincetown (Massachusetts), fui convidado pelo primeiro amigo que fiz nos Estados Unidos, Thomas Acone, para participar do Painting Ptown - um evento em que ele reúne artistas profissionais, amadores e iniciantes para pintar no jardim de um dos restaurantes mais badalados da cidade: o The Red Inn. O evento à céu aberto tem como cenário o edifício centenário de arquitetura colonial americana (pintado na cor vermelha), e a praia nos fundos do mesmo, que fica dentro de uma enseada - que por sua vez se completa na península de Long Point Beach. Naquele evento, no início de junho, decidi pintar numa pequena tela as linhas do mar, contrastando com uma tarde cinzenta e um barquinho na praia. Tela, tinta e pincéis eram uma mídia nova pra mim, mas mesmo assim foi um momento descompromissado e divertido pra brincar de fazer arte. Em maio de 2016, voltei à Provincetown para a minha segunda temporada de verão. Mas dessa vez, eu trazia além das minhas novas caixas de lápis de cor, as séries de desenhos "Miami" e "Space". Encorajado pelo meu amigo Tom, e apoiado por Phillip Mossy (meu amigo e um dos proprietários do The Red Inn) decidi fazer uma série tendo como tema a Provincetown que eu via. Comecei a desenhar os locais que chamavam a minha atenção e alguns lugares especiais que escolhi como 'meus'. O The Red Inn foi o primeiro local que trabalhei em Provincetown e por isso, inspiração para o primeiro desenho daquela série.
(E) In 2015, my first summer in Provincetown (Massachusetts), I was invited by my first American friend, Thomas Acone, to join Painting Ptown - an event he promotes to meet professional, beginners and amateur artists to paint at one of nicest restaurants in town: The Red Inn. The outside event has a centennial building of American colonial architecture as a scenic backdrop (painted red), and the beach as a backgroud - which in turn completes itself at Long Point Beach's Peninsula. In that event, at the begining of June, on a small canvas, I decided to paint the lines of the sea contrasting with a greysh afternoon, and a little boat on the beach. Canvas, paint, brushes were a new media to me, but even so, it was an uncompromising and fun moment to play to make art. In May of 2016, I returned to Provincetown for my second summer there. But this turn, besides my new colored pencils set, I brought my Miami and Space series. Encouraged by my friend Tom, and supported by Phillip Mossy (my friend and one of The Red Inn's owners) I decided to draw a new series having Provincetown as a theme. I started choosing my favorite spots in town, some of them I use to call "my places". The Red Inn was the first place I worked in Provincetown, and that beautiful building brought me inspiration for the first drawing of this series.
