Interview

Karsten Löckemann: When I was doing background research, I couldn't find any interviews you'd given. Hasn't there been any opportunity, or do you want people to explore your pictures without any previous guidance?
Rosilene Luduvico: It’s the first opportunity I’ve had to do an interview.
Karsten Löckemann: What’s the importance of your home country Brazil in your work? You were born in 1969 and grew up in a small farming village in the mountains of Brazil. You lived there for fourteen years without electricity and all the technical luxuries of our time. In your pictures, forest landscapes and defoliated trees are a constantly recurring theme. Are nature and the mountains of Brazil a place of refuge, a timeless space in which man's relationship with nature is still in balance?
Rosilene Luduvico: It’s unimportant for my paintings where I’m from and where I go. The only important thing is the place I am in.
Karsten Löckemann: Are the defoliated, dead-looking trees in, for example, the large-format painting Untitled (2003) a motif for the transitoriness of mankind and nature?
Rosilene Luduvico: Yes, and they're a place of solitude.
