This artwork presents a surreal and whimsical scene, where a girl in a red dress and hat stands confidently atop a majestic panda. She extends her arm to touch the distant moon with a lit sparkler, symbolizing curiosity and the desire to reach beyond the ordinary. The lush backdrop features misty mountains and giant floating flowers, creating an enchanting blend of nature and fantasy. Intricately layered textures give the piece a dreamlike quality, while the text, "Be the moon or live until it becomes the sun," adds a philosophical dimension. The panda, symbolizing peace and contentment, contrasts with the child's adventurous spirit. This captivating fusion of elements challenges conventional perception, inviting viewers to explore the intersection of reality and imagination.

Presentation
Born in 1980, Eduardo Recife is a Brazilian artist, illustrator, and typographer celebrated for his
signature collage style. His work seamlessly blends vintage imagery, magazine cutouts, textures, stains,
and intricate symbols, creating visually arresting compositions that invite close examination. With an
extensive personal portfolio, Recife has also garnered widespread recognition as a commercial
illustrator, collaborating with renowned clients such as The New York Times, YouTube, Volkswagen, and
HBO.
Recife's work has been featured in over 70 publications, spanning art and design books as well as
international and national magazines. His artistry has been honored with numerous awards, including a
Cannes Lion Gold (2011), the American Illustration Award (2009), and the Young Illustrators Award
(2014). These accolades highlight both his creative ingenuity and his enduring influence in the art world.
DIALOGUES OF THE SOUL
Through his art, Recife embarks on an evocative exploration of the human experience. His works delve
into conversations, doubts, and dreams, unraveling themes of love, happiness, and truth. They reflect
humanity's aspirations, offering viewers a compelling lens through which to examine their inner worlds.
With a blend of critical depth and poetic sensitivity, Recife's creations challenge us to uncover who we
are, revisit forgotten corners of our psyche, and confront the shadowy aspects of the human soul. At
the same time, his art reveals the beauty embedded within the darkness, celebrating the resilience and
complexity of the human spirit.
