Brigida Baltar

Untitled, from the series Bee House, 2001

Blue ballpoint ink on paper | 11.7 x 8.3 in

Brígida Baltar’s practice centered on the poetics of the everyday, often transforming ephemeral gestures into enduring works. This intimate drawing belongs to her Bee House series, where imagined forms blur the boundaries between human and animal, body and shelter. Using only blue ballpoint ink, Baltar conjures delicate, dreamlike imagery that reflects her lifelong interest in domestic space, nature, and the porous line between the two. Made in her Rio de Janeiro studio-home, this work embodies the artist’s quiet, conceptual inquiry into presence, transformation, and the desire to make the intangible visible.
