A Carmo Johnson Projects invites you to the opening of the solo exhibition “Soul Earth"by the artist" Belony Ferreira, curated by Paula Ramos.
In Belony Ferreira's work, the earth ceases to be merely matter and asserts itself as a language. Using clays and natural pigments collected from the soil, the artist constructs works that bear the marks of time and history. By evoking the Earth as a poetic force, Belony establishes a sensitive dialogue with issues that permeate the memory of the countryside, social engagement, and environmental urgencies.
Born in Santo Antônio da Patrulha (RS), in 1935, Belony began her artistic career at the age of 53, after a life dedicated to agriculture. It is precisely from this profound experience with the land that the core of her work emerges. More than matter, the land becomes language: a means of expression laden with memory, time, and belonging.
Using clays and natural pigments collected from the soil, Belony creates works that preserve the marks of the territory and transform everyday gestures into poetic power. Her practice articulates sensitive experience and political awareness, evoking issues related to life in the countryside, social engagement, and environmental urgencies.
In this exhibition, the artist affirms the earth as a living and narrative body — a space where memory and matter intertwine, revealing a work of silent strength and profound resonance.
