Growth.

My grandmother Luiza was my biggest inspiration in art. When I was 13, I remember looking at one of her abstract paintings hanging at her atelier in Tiradentes. I asked why she painted it. She told me that it was an idea she had, it became a drawing and eventually the painting. She showed me the drawing and talked about growth by exploration. There were a couple of drawings on the same sheet of paper as if she was playing with it, searching for something. I always showed her my drawings, she would smile, tell me what she found interesting in it, and ask me to make another one for her. Exploration is growth. Sketchbook drawing with pen and wax stick.
