"Art for me is an aesthetic experience that can be enjoyed through a set of sensations and emotions that feed the soul, something that transcends, creating in the viewer an atmosphere of ecstasy, dream and poetry."
For Heloisa Bomfim, the fact that we live where the speed of change is enormous, there is a greater interest in the people in experiencing and experiencing the work of art, with that, the art in its conception began to make a difference in that it proposes a a set of sensations and emotions, the experimental, a common concept of universality of aesthetic experience, where the beautiful for the Fine Arts ceases to be the focal point of the work, beginning with the poetics, the lived experience, the emotions that this work communicates and its possibilities of reading to the observer.
Heloisa Bomfim will have her first International performance in Paris at the Carrousel Du Louvre, with representation of Vivemos Arte, for her: "a unique experience."
Her creative process comes from the inspirations of concretist artists and Brazilian neoconcretists like Amilcar de Castro and Sérgio Camargo, as well as in the Venezuelan Soto. Like these artists, the creative process of Heloisa Bomfim takes place through the rigorous and fragmented use of geometry, with a colored and illuminated surface and the experimentation of the geometrical figures, a strong heritage coming from the architecture and the formal application of the geometry, bringing to it a feeling of full accomplishment when finalizing a work when there is the scope of the aesthetic quality in the composition of the forms, which makes it reach a balanced harmony, being that its final objective. Her interest in deepening her studies in Art History and perfecting techniques is a constant pursuit, causing her work to be constantly modified and her growth in the visual arts expected. Using pure geometry combined with light and color trying to reach a larger dimension, the dimension of the soul, through colors and shapes that are installed in space, the art of Heloisa Bomfim expresses and translates what is in our conscious, unconscious or even not the subconscious.
