Adriana Varejão: faces of the feminine

Abstract

The research analyzes the works Mãe d'Água and Nascimento de Ondina, by the Brazilian artist Adriana Varejão, seeking to interpret how the myth of the mermaid is symbolized in these productions and to understand how they relate to the representation of women. To do so, we will use as theoretical support Julio Pinto (1995) about symbols, Leandro Souza concerning image and the theory of Peircean semiotics (2005) to develop the analyses, as well as Jean Chevalier (2015) in the descriptions of the elements symbolic.
