Living in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Aline Besouro creates characters in her work that, over time, become entities with complex personalities. With a work embedded in symbolism, she uses serigraphy, painting, and public art to create mythologies that develop over long periods of time, like life itself. In this interview, she speaks about a recent character named “Confia” (“Trust”), which she first created through drawing in 2018 but came to know with more detail after painting them on canvas in 2021. Aline discusses both the reality of the presence of the characters in her life and how much they carry forward all that is inaccessible to her knowledge, sustaining the unknown mysteriously and gently.
