The Benjamin Button watercolor

This is the story of a watercolor that was born old and grew younger and younger as time (and attempts) went.

She started out her life as a commission for a couple of friends that were going to get married in the church that she portrayed. Adult – apparently – mature, finished and ready to go.

Then, she went through a phase, where she was trying to accept her shapes.

And find a better way to control but also to express her colors, by balancing the right emotions with the right reasons.

She got younger still, while she was trying to put together her elements.

Finally, she went back to the origins, into the sketchbook, where she should have been born.

Esta é a história de uma aguarela que nasceu velha e rejuvenescia com o passar do tempo (e das tentativas).

Começou a vida como uma encomenda para um casal de amigos que se iam casar na igreja que retratava. Adulta – aparentemente – matura, acabada e pronta para partir.

Depois passou por uma fase em que tentava aceitar as suas formas.

E tentou encontrar uma forma de melhor controlar, mas também expressar as suas cores, equilibrando na dose certa as suas emoções e as suas razões.

Ficou ainda mais jovem, enquanto tentava juntar os seus elementos.

Finalmente, voltou para as origens, para o caderno, onde ela deveria ter nascido.
