Brazilian ambassador to visit Wicklow this weekend
Since she first began capturing reflections, movements, and transformations in Dingle, County Kerry, in 2009, Brazilian-born Taves has been developing a visual archive centred on water. A member of Visual Artists Ireland and current president of the Bray Camera Club, selected works from her Water Colour collection have been showcased in group exhibitions internationally, including at the Carrousel du Louvre in France, as well as in Belgium, Osaka, Helsinki, New York, Rio de Janeiro and Dublin. Working from her Wicklow studio, Taves' photographic practice blends abstraction, documentary, and poetic sensitivity. Capturing moments with both digital cameras and mobile phones, her instinctive approach is attuned to the subtleties of light, environment, and the emotional resonance of water. In her work, water becomes a metaphor for impermanence, time, and the urgent concerns of the present, especially in the face of the climate crisis, with her reflections on water inviting viewers to contemplate not only the natural world but also the fragility of life itself. Looking ahead to the exhibition launch, Taves said she will be delighted to welcome guest speaker Mr Macieira, who attended her innovative exhibition, Page by Page, with his wife, Mrs Josieane Macieira, in Arklow Library in January. '2025 marks the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Brazil and Ireland, and having Mr Macieira here to open the exhibition helps mark that significant milestone,' she said. Water Colour will open on Sunday, May 18, from 3 pm to 5 pm. The exhibition will run until June 8 and be open between 10 am to 4 pm from Wednesday to Saturday, and from 12 pm to 4 pm on Sundays. A bus can be booked via the Courthouse website at a cost of €10 per person. It will depart from the Signal Arts Centre in Bray at 1.45 pm and return from Tinahely Courthouse at 5 pm.
