Material detail of Woman in Chains by Luciana Vilas Boas, made with wine corks

L. G. Vilas Bôas

Material that holds memory

Art as a way to eternalize the instant

Unique works made with wine corks: reclaimed material, manual gesture, and memory transformed into artistic composition.

Material

The cork stopper, a residue of daily life, becomes a living surface. Every trace of wine preserves a convivial gesture.

Memory

The works hold fragments of time: encounters, places, instants. Composition makes visible what the material has gathered.

Transformation

From reclamation to artistic presence: a tactile, poetic, and sustainable language that invites contemplation.

From residue to presence

The creative process begins with material: corks collected, observed, cut, and recomposed. Each element carries a story that composition makes visible.

Texture, layering, and the color of wine remain legible on the surface. Material speaks through tactile traces that invite a slow reading of the work.
