“To sail is necessary, to live is not necessary.”
Before understanding Pompey`s adage ["Navigare necesse; vivere non est necesse"], my day to day life and my perception of the surrounding world in São Paulo, where I was born in 1962, was guided by observations of shape, color, proportion and their relationships.
In my childhood to draw, to paint, to design, to learn was necessary, “to live” it was not necessary.
