Series "La Chambre des Couleurs", started 2004 and is still in progress.
"La Chambre des Couleurs" which means "the room of colors" stands as a synonym for the life itself.
The painter sculptor Ana de Medeiros started this series with the painting "Entrée dans la chambre.." (entrance to the room..), a painting the artist meant to symbolize both an access to life but also an exit.
Right after entering the room of colors - though slowly - a process starts, like a game full of naivity, on search, without experience, characterized by minimalistic painting in basic colors on a rough and sandy canvas which again reminds of the artists country.
