Let the artist speak for himself:

All the drawings I am sending you are original and exclusive creations for Gift Mugs. Be assured that none of the drawings offered in this special collectors collection will be reproduced by any other company in Brazil or abroad.

And here is the text about the nature of these original drawings:

The true owners of Brazil are the Indians of the Amazon Region, which has the greatest world diversity in terms of vegetation and wildlife, a congenial habitat founded on huge forests and immense water supply through its uncountable rivers and balanced ecology.

When the colonizers arrived in the 1500's, there were about 900 Indian nations in Brazil speaking 300 languages with over 3,000 dialects. Their majority were exterminated or expelled from their land. Today they live in designated areas that represent 20% of the total Amazonian region.

Only 170 nations are left there with approximately 180,000 out of the former 3,000,000 that perished in the violent colonization process. Despite all that, the Indians still have a wonderful civilization based on an extremely rich culture, which keeps , among other things, medicinal secrets that have not yet been tapped by contemporary science.

I have been among some of them myself, visiting friends I have made there, and never getting tired of admiring their art dating from 5,000 years ago. Their simple, yet elaborate lines, the power of their drawings, which can be even confused with modern painting, have exerted a considerable influence on me personally.

This collection I am now engaged in is to honor the Brazilian Indian tribes on the eve of the 500th anniversary of the country (to be celebrated on the 22nd of April 2000). I see it as Brazilian Indians' art adapted to my own painting style.

It also offers a glimpse of the rich cultural heritage and language of these Amazonian Indians.


May 1999. J. Araujo
