Madeira Flower Festival 2015/Project

At Madeira Island, like at the Caribbean, the seasons go by slowly filled with colors, sounds, smells, birds and flowers.
A thousand colors is a project that represents the best of these two countries, where I spend my Summer holidays at the Caribbean and where I live the rest of the year at Madeira Island.

Madeira Flower Festival 2015/Mil Cores

A thousand colors decorate our days and our hearts of those who live in and visit Madeira Island. A thousand colors that please our eyes and our senses.

My project for the Flower Festival 2015 is inspired by the natural colors of the sky, the sea, the sun, the flowers, the butterflies and of the mountains that make me come back to the Island every time I miss home when I am away. The return is inevitable!

A thousand colors, a thousand emotions, a thousand drawings that rest inside the drawers of my memory all year round, waiting for April to come and turn these ideas into reality.
