Mother Nature
Normally, after I do a show, I feel very strange and a bit lost, not knowing what I want to paint after that, because my mind gets too overwhelmed with the preparation and doing all the work for the show, that when it all finishes and I get back to the studio, it’s hard for me to think of what I want to show next. It would be simpler If I only did one thing, because than, you just keep repeating yourself and it’s safe, you know what the painting is going to look like when you finish it and you know you will be happy with it. But I chose a different path, a more complicated one. But for me it’s much more fun, creating different paintings all the time and exploring with different mediums and techniques. But it’s very risky too because it might look amazing but it might look terrible as well . But that is the fun of it! 😉
This painting is tittled : ” Mother Nature ” and is the first canvas I painted after my last show. I wanted to show a mother’s love and how much a mother tries to protect her child.
When I had my son and I had difficulties in getting back to my work, I did a painting of my son and that was the kick for me to get back on track.
So I’ve decided to use the same trick and I think it worked, because it gave me, again, a new direction and after this painting I had a big path ahead of me and a lot of new ideas of what I wanted to show next…

Moving On Exhibition
This is a video of my “Moving On Exhibition” Â at Brick Lane Gallery, in London, England. This video was made by my friend Caroline Ravagnani. Â Thank you for the great job Carol.
Happy Energy
These are some photos of my last trip to London.
I wanted to cause a positive reaction, by transforming a neutral or negative space into something happy and positive.
A Little Prettier.
A Happy Feel.
Don't worry, Be Happy
Smile.
Maybe you will notice me.
Nature Will Survive.
A Heart In Love
This is a wall I started to paint in Sao Paulo, Brazil and unfortunately it was never allowed to be finished ;(
On the day I painted it, there was no sign of anyone sleeping next to it, and the next day, I found that! It brought me mixed feelings, I felt really sad to see it! Every time I see things like that, the reality of the streets hit me. I think that every human being should be allowed to have, at least, the basic needs.
Yeah, and unfortunately this is also part of the environment that a street artist experience. And thanks to that, I had the idea of starting the project ” Spreading the Love and Positive Energy to the World” and, even though this time I wasn’t allowed to finish it, it still brought some love and positive energy to somebody that needed it.
Esta eh um trabalho que eu fiz em sao Paulo, Brasil, mas, infelizmente ,nao foi permitida a finalizacao do trabalho.
No dia em que eu pintei este muro, nao tinha nenhum sinal de ninguem dormindo perto desta parede, e, no dia seguinte eu me deparei com esta imagem! E isso tudo me trouxe uma mistura de sentimentos, eu fiquei muito triste! Toda vez em que eu vejo algo assim, e’ como se eu recebesse uma porrada da realidade nas ruas. Eu acho que todo ser humano merece ter, no minimo, as necessidades basicas.
Yeah, e , infelizmente, isto tambem faz parte das ruas e, por causa disso eu tive a ideia de comecar o projeto”Espalhando amor e energia positiva ao mundo” e, mesmo que esta pintura nao pode ser terminada, ainda assim ela levou um pouco de amor e energia positiva a alguem que estava precisando.

Feliz Dia Das Maes!!!
Happy Mother’s Day!!! (today is mother’s day in Brazil) 😉 Yes, I know, I’m very lucky! I get to have 2 mother’s days in a year 😉
This is a painting I did last year, tittled:” Mother’s Love”
Painting by Waleska Nomura.
This is a poem I like very much:
What is a Mother?
A mother is someone to shelter and guide us,
To love us, whatever we do,
With a warm understanding and infinite patience,
And wonderful gentleness, too.
How often a mother means swift reassurance
In soothing our small, childish fears,
How tenderly mothers watch over their children
And treasure them all through the years!
The heart of a mother is full of forgiveness
For any mistake, big or small,
And generous always in helping her family
Whose needs she has placed above all.
A mother can utter a word of compassion
And make all our cares fall away,
She can brighten a home with the sound of her laughter
And make life delightful and gay.
A mother possesses incredible wisdom
And wonderful insight and skill –
In each human heart is that one special corner
Which only a mother can fill!
– Katherine Nelson Davis

This is a very quick wall we painted in Brazil this year. It was my first wall after a long time without painting on the streets, because I was dedicating all my time to my canvasses.
It was a very nice way of meeting an old friend. 😉
