In many ways these images represent an opposite, are a deliberate escape from the camera, the computer screen, in an effort to explore different ways of thinking; of being physical, using a scissors and glue, retaining a tactile relationship with the world. They are a divergence, a deviation, a spin out of a controlled design environment into an automatic subconscious that instinctually feels its way through the visual stimula of the contemporary world; advertisements, books, magazines.Moreira brings years of design practice to these collages. He understands the fundamentals of form and composition and how images work in juxtaposition to each other. Has a vast visual resource in his head to draw from, these seemingly arbitrary connections the product of a mind that’s been mining the visual world for years. And while his pictures are humorous, quirky and light hearted they do occasionally provoke, delve into contemporary social issues such as sex, religion, gender inequality and sexual exploitation."
