Azul com flecha
A delicate arrow rendered in ink cuts through a luminous field of soft blue watercolor, creating a sense of quiet directional tension on the page. Schendel's restrained mark-making balances precision with fragility, allowing the translucency of the medium to breathe around the spare geometric form. The work reflects her ongoing exploration of language, symbol, and the metaphysical weight of simple signs.

Born in Zurich and later studying in Milan, Mira Schendel immigrated to São Paulo in 1949, where she began her artistic career in earnest. She found Brazil ripe for artistic innovation, both thanks to the community of European émigrés living there during this time, as well as the exploration of abstraction being led by Brazilian artists like Lygia Clark and Hélio Oiticica.
