Dear fellow artists of RockStreet Collective and wonderful rock-art enthusiasts from around the world. Caros colegas artistas do RockStreet Collective e maravilhosos entusiastas da arte de rock de todo o mundo.

This week I had the great pleasure of talking with our RockStreet friend and outstanding artist, Débora Penachione. I must admit that, all through the interview process, the translations, questions, distance, time gaps, etc..., I was deeply impressed by Débora's passion for rock painting, her confidence in the benefits of painting on rocks, and above all, by her trust in people's power to improve just by engaging in any art pursuit.

Esta semana tive o grande prazer em conversar com nosso amigo RockStreet e excelente artista, Débora Penachione. Devo admitir, durante todo o processo de entrevista, traduções, perguntas, distância, intervalos de tempo, etc., fiquei profundamente impressionado com a paixão de Débora pela pintura de rock, sua confiança nos benefícios da pintura em rochas e, acima de tudo, por Sua confiança no poder das pessoas para melhorar apenas se engajando em qualquer busca artística.

Here is Débora's interview describing her artistic journey, her world, and her passion for the beautiful world of painted rocks. Aqui está a entrevista de Débora descrevendo sua jornada artística, seu mundo e sua paixão pelo belo mundo das rochas pintadas.

 

Hello Débora. Thank you for taking the courage to talk about yourself, your career and your dreams today. To start with, tell us a few things about the place where you are living. Olá Debora. Obrigado por ter a coragem de falar sobre você, sua carreira e seus sonhos hoje. Para começar, conte-nos algumas coisas sobre o lugar onde você está morando.

Resido numa cidade chamada Americana, a 130 km de São Paulo, recebeu esse nome porque teve uma grande imigração de Americanos, Em 1886, as terras da região começaram a ser efetivamente povoadas por imigrantes norte-americanos sulistas, que após o fim da Guerra Civil Americana se refugiaram na região,  mas também recebemos muitos imigrantes italianos ao qual sou descendente.

É uma cidade onde a atividade principal  foi indústria de tecidos, também é chamada carinhosamente de “A Princesa Tecelã”.

I live in a city called Americana, 130 km from São Paulo, Brazil. Americana was settled by Southern American defectors of the Civil war 150 years ago and this is where its name came from. Starting with 1866, the lands of the region began to be effectively populated by American Confederates who had rejected Reconstruction and fled the United States. Along with the Americans came a large number of Italian immigrants to whom I am a descendant myself.

Americana is also affectionately called “The Princess Weaver” for its famous cotton weaving factories and its fabric industries.

How did you start painting? How long have you been painting and where does the passion for painting on rocks come from?Como você começou a pintar? Como você pintou há muito tempo? De onde vem a paixão pela pintura sobre as rochas?

Desde criança por volta dos 5 ou 6 anos de idade meus pais descobriram meu dom pelo desenho e pintura, pois eu conseguia olhar os objetos e copiá-los, logicamente de uma forma bem infantil. Desde então, os lápis de cores e cadernos de desenhos fizeram parte do meu cotidiano de minha vida.

A pintura em pedras veio a partir do ano passado quando vi uma foto de pequenas corujinhas pintadas em pedra e tentei reproduzir uma delas, postei em meu facebook e aí, começaram a vir os elogios e pedidos, nos últimos seis meses se intensificaram meus pedidos de pinturas em pedras e é tudo o que tenho feito desde então.


From the time I was five or six years old my parents discovered my gift for drawing and painting. I could look at objects and copy them in painting straight away, in a very childish way of course. Since then the color pencils and sketchbooks have been part of my daily life.
My rock painting journey however began last year when I saw a photo of little owls painted on rocks. I tried to reproduce one of them, I posted it on my Facebook, and there began to come the compliments and requests! In the last six months my requests for paintings on stones grew so much that it’s all I've done ever since.

What do you like painting the most? O que você gosta de pintar mais?

Gosto mais de pintar animais, tento reproduzir o melhor possível, principalmente o olhar, as paisagens são minha segunda opção, estou gostando de retratar cidades com pontos turísticos de meu Brasil.


I like to paint animals. I try to reproduce them in the best possible ways, especially when it comes to their look, their face expression, etc. Landscapes are my second option; I like to portray cities, tourist spots or buildings of my Brazil or from around the world.

Here are a few of Debora's painted rocks depicting landscapes of Brazil and from other countries:

Is there a stone that has a special meaning for you? Existe uma pedra que tenha um significado especial para você?

 

A pedra especial para mim, foi a primeira que pintei... uma corujinha, essa a guardo com muito carinho, pra mim todas são especiais, pois em cada uma delas vejo algo, costumo dizer que elas tem vontade própria, que elas sabem o que querem ser pintadas.

 

A very special stone for me was the first one that I painted ... a little owl. I still have lot affection for this painted stone and I preserve it dearly. To me, however, all my rocks are special because I see something wonderful in each of them.

**I often say that rocks have a will of their own, that they guide us towards how they want to be painted**

Guardo minha primeira pedrinha pintada.

Here it is, my first painted rock:

    She does such beautiful work! Her first rock is so precious. I can see why she wanted to keep it. I agree with Debora that rocks have a will of their own and that they guide us on how they want to be painted. Only a rock painter understands that. :-)
