 Christina Oiticica facts

• She has been married to Paulo Coelho since 1980
• Oiticica is known for using an exotic neoconcretist technique that reminds both the land art and the eco art - a technique that allows nature’s elements to act upon her works
• Oiticica is a "daughter" of the experimental art movement of the 1970s arisen in Rio de Janeiro, where she was born, and has taken her paintings to all four corners of the world
• Oiticica idealized the combination of land art – which uses nature as foundation matter – with a painting in the French Pyrenees, five years ago, when she decided to paint a 10-meter long canvas in the middle of nature in the open air, as she realized not to have a covered area that would enable her to create on such surface
• Once her work was finished, she left it to dry right there, outside
• On the next day, as she went back to pick it up, she found that dust, dirt, leaves and some insects had been integrated to the canvas
• "With no premeditation, nature had given its unique touch to the painting
• The artist began this technique painting in the forests, valleys and mountains of the Pyrenees, in France
• The result of this work is her book The Four Seasons
• Soon after, between 2004 and 2005 she buried many canvases in the Amazon Rainforest forest in Brazil and waited a year to retrieve them
