In the Mamarracho series, doodles are drawn, digitalized, enlarged 1000 times and then painted on white canvases. The black lines haphazardly cross the canvas, overflowing onto the wall, making these works hybrid image-objects.

In Tentativa de apagar o cotidiano [Attempting to erase the quotidian], artist Marcelo Cidade (1979) establishes a daily practice of painting on local newspapers. The artist seeks to erase the news and images of the periodicals, leaving in evidence geometric traces. Lines of different colors, sizes and shapes emerge, and graphics lose their original function by arranging themselves in new patterns.

Manifestantes y Obreras is a series of graphic works based on research into Soviet textiles in the 1920s and 1930s and the social role of art related to clothing and textile design, specifically the work of Varvara Stepanova, Nadezhda Lamanova and Vera Lotonina.
This type of thematic and propagandistic design included, among the most general themes, industrialization, the glorification of progress and working conditions in factories, fields and shipyards. Artistic impressions of these themes were used as unusual propaganda tools.
For this series, these representations were adapted to create graphics based on contemporary images of working-class women in demonstrations and protests.
