Trânsito Celeste 1972

Eduardo Nery made this painting, Trânsito Celeste, with flat, bold shapes that create a real sense of depth and movement. You know, looking at this, I imagine Nery in his studio, carefully layering these colors—the deep blues, oranges, purples—almost like he's charting a map of the cosmos. The large golden circle feels like a sun, doesn't it? It’s got this incredible shimmer, probably from a metallic paint or leaf. I can almost feel the texture, smooth but with a subtle gleam, and then those other shapes that appear to orbit it. The way the circles overlap, creating new shades and forms, reminds me of how artists are always in conversation, building on each other's ideas, and discovering new ways of seeing. And really, each painting is like a little experiment, where the artist risks something in the hope of revealing something new.
