    Ione Saldanha was greatly influenced by the rapidly growing city and its architectural forms, whose intersecting planes can be read in the geometric arrangement of her tempera experiments. Embracing the translucency of the paint, she alternates between the full saturation of sunlight and washes of blues and purples that rest on the surface like shadows.

    Saldanha's Bobinas utilise the spools she saw around the city, used for storing industrial cables. With her interventions, they are transformed into light toys, or delicate flowers.
