Maria Nepomuceno desenvolve esculturas que se comportam como organismos vivos: combina tecidos, contas, cordas, madeira e outros materiais em tramas que seguem uma lógica própria e intuitiva. Suas composições, influenciadas por técnicas artesanais, ativam o espaço de maneira sensorial, explorando relações entre forma, estrutura e espaço. O uso de cores vibrantes e volumes generosos dá corpo a uma poética tátil, em constante expansão.
Essa dimensão também se revela nas palavras do artista, que sintetizam aspectos centrais de sua prática:

“Tudo entra e sai, cresce, floresce, brota, enraiza, germina! Comer, transar, cruzar, gozar, engravidar, parir… tudo acontecendo ao mesmo tempo.
As formas se transformam, cores e tamanhos se alteram gradualmente: conta 6, conta 8, conta 10… três brancos e um vermelho, dois brancos e um vermelho, um branco e um vermelho, um branco e dois vermelhos, um branco e três vermelhos… E assim, as voltas em espiral são tecidas, ponto a ponto, infinitamente.
A matemática como alicerce para um universo orgânico, pulsante e misterioso.
Plantas, bichos, mar, terra, fungos, vulcões, humanos, rios, sistema circulatório, células, planetas, galáxias...
Tudo se funde, tudo se torna um só.”


[Maria Nepomuceno develops sculptures that evoke living organisms: she combines fabrics, beads, ropes, wood, and other materials into woven structures guided by an intuitive logic of their own. Influenced by artisanal techniques, her compositions activate space in a sensory way, exploring relationships between form, structure, and space. The use of vibrant colors and generous volumes gives shape to a tactile poetics in constant expansion.
This dimension is also revealed in the artist’s own words, which synthesize central aspects of her practice:

"Everything flows in and out, grows, blooms, sprouts, takes root, germinates! Eating, making love, mating, climaxing, conceiving, giving birth… all happening at once.
Shapes change, colors and sizes change gradually: count 6, count 8, count 10… three whites and one red, two whites and one red, one white and one red, one white and two reds, one white and three reds… And so, the spiraling loops are stitched, point by point, endlessly.
Mathematics as the foundation of an organic, pulsing, mysterious universe.
Plants, animals, sea, earth, fungi, volcanoes, humans, rivers, circulatory systems, cells, planets, galaxies...
Everything merges, everything becomes one."]
