This painting still in a japanese style, contemporary and even influenced by manga narrative structures, or japanese mithological narrative patterns. Anyway, it has a huge influence from brazilian northeast folk, specially when we talk about the flying fish, a permanent creature from nature and imaginarium from this side of Brazil.  Otherwise, an oniric environment is made to compose a background where you can´t define if it´s a fiction, a dream or an aquarium, a real place, or nowhere. So this red is a japanese architecture, and the white geometries also, maybe an industrial reflection,  or some echoe.

sm Mech. Zool 1 honey-ivore: specimen of the Honeyivora. 2the Honeyivora: an order of honeyivorous living machines. • adj honeyivorous, honey-eating; very-sweet-food-eating;

In this case, the lagar as a mistic place, or:  a machine to press sugar-cane in order to obtain the sugar-cane juice. As a living machine, its a honeyivora specimen. As a lagar, a mistical and simbolic place of the contemporary plantations in South America, but also a spectrum of the fagia over the industry, layered under the black absortive density of the giant industry for sugar and ecologic fuel, the alcohol.

This painting made in three phases: a first industrialized layer, under evertything, a second layer with an obvious industry equalized in colours and meannings, and the third as the point wich links the first phases of the sugar-cane juice, by lagar geared and cilindered machines until contemporary models.
