El Anatsui creates large scale works using metallic materials like aluminum and copper wire that reflect light in shifting, luminous ways, much like the silver leaf surface of Alquímia 80. His practice similarly dissolves boundaries between painting, sculpture, and textile while drawing on cultural heritage and material transformation.

Lenore Tawney pioneered the fusion of fiber art and fine art with a deeply spiritual and mystical sensibility, closely paralleling de Amaral's blurring of craft and painting in Alquímia 80. Her works share the same meditative, abstract quality and exploration of material as a vehicle for transcendent meaning.

Sheila Hicks works at the intersection of painting and fiber art using richly layered materials that create textured, tactile surfaces with strong visual depth, directly echoing the gesso and silver leaf buildup in Alquímia 80. Her abstract compositions and global artistic influences mirror de Amaral's synthesis of craft traditions and contemporary art practice.
