Il tempo che vive in me (O tempo que vive em mim) reúne pinturas de Miguel Afa concebidas em Roma, nas quais corpo, memória e território se entrelaçam a partir de experiências afetivas vividas entre Brasil e Itália. Entre paisagens, lembranças e referências à história da arte, o artista investiga o tempo como matéria sensível, onde o íntimo e o monumental coexistem. Como observa Sidival Fila, “cria-se um diálogo delicado e gentil entre o ser humano e o resto da criação”, permeado por afetos e pela potência expressiva da cor. A noção de saudade percorre as pinturas como uma memória em movimento, expandindo a ideia de patrimônio para dimensões emocionais e simbólicas.

[Il tempo che vive in me (The time that lives within me) brings together paintings by Miguel Afa created in Rome, in which themes like body, memory, and space intertwine through affective experiences lived in both Brazil and Italy. Through landscapes, memories, and references to art history, the artist explores time as a sensitive material, where the intimate and the monumental coexist. As Sidival Fila observes, “a delicate and gentle dialogue is created between the human being and the rest of creation,” charged with emotion and the expressive power of color. The notion of saudade (longing) runs through the paintings as a form of memory in motion, expanding the idea of heritage into emotional and symbolic dimensions.]
