Jofroi Amaral experiments with a wide variety of materials. He questions painting and studies human actions. His interest lies in rituals and the development and structure of myths and pagan philosophies. He paints, for instance, with plants, human bodies, stones, and other objects on canvas. These objects bear traces of an almost ritual, very physical process or an initiation. However, these attempts to paint with items are also acts of failure, since most of them are not suitable as a “brush”. Thus, the works bear traces of an authentic experience by the artist. For Jofroi Amaral, the process and the human/artistic experience are no less important than the aesthetic result.
