The artwork expands awareness of the existence of especially positive situations in nature, in contrast to the prevailing feeling of environmental degradation that dominates society today. It highlights an incredible victory in the face of widespread defeats related to nature conservation. It draws attention to a spectacular event that took place on the eastern and southern coast of Brazil. A bird once thought to be extinct, the Guará, the Scarlet Ibis (Eudocimus ruber), has returned to inhabit this region. Today, huge flocks of this magnificent bird once again populate its natural habitat in places like Guaratuba (Many Guarás) and Guaraqueçaba (Land of the Guarás) and continue to expand further south. It is important to raise awareness of the existence of especially happy moments in the environment. The artwork features two flying figures of the Scarlet Ibis, which fit together and fill the space with perfect harmony. Laser-cut in metal, they form a large cylinder with a hidden entrance, with the interior filled with flexible red strips hanging from the ceiling. Upon entering the installation, the viewer becomes immersed in this sequence of red strips, simulating being inside a flock of ibises taking flight. miracle Up

Actions The Semente (Seed), through its powerful focal concept, native nature, allows for immense amounts of positive actions for the environment, people, and society. Any action developed within the Seed exists, by principle, in a positive environment, of peace and awareness of the existence of the native heritage that surrounds everyone and each individual. In the Semente (Seed), actions should be interesting, joyful, and fun, so that people are attracted to participate and want to continue participating. They should bring not only joy but also seek the happiness of everyone involved. They should also not require any resources or effort from those participating. As a result, our outcomes will remain spontaneous, with people and societies becoming more engaged with the native natural environment in a positive and harmonious way, creating a better, consistent, and resilient future for the natural environment, people, and society. In relation to nature, the native is positive when we think of beauty, harmony, conservation, recovery, integration, enjoyment, coexistence, contemplation, etc., etc., etc. In relation to people, we can focus on mental and physical health, enjoying nature, and quality of life. In particular, native nature, what has always been there, is strongly linked to local culture. It is tied to traditions, food, clothing, art, customs, music, dance, habits, work methods, and the exploration of traditional natural resources. In relation to society, the native is connected to the necessary respect for diversity, the sharing of resources in a harmonious way, and the need for positive coexistence, among many other possibilities. Within this rich universe, the Seed system has some already structured actions, but in a way that does not diminish the countless possibilities for exploration within the created environment. Up

Native Nature, the Native Our focal concept is Native Nature, the Native The native belongs to everyone, creating comfortable and interesting situations and facilitating interaction between people and communities. It allows any action arising from it to be easier, more resilient, and deeply connected to the best qualities of individuals and society, while requiring fewer resources than other solutions. It also produces the most competent and positive results, especially for the natural environment and biodiversity. It sustains itself and integrates and supports the entire local biodiversity, without human effort. The native is already available and ready, as it is adapted to the local conditions, even the most adverse. It has existed in that environment for thousands, in some cases millions, of years, minimizing or eliminating the need for human interference. It belongs to any environment on the planet. Therefore, the Native is the focal concept that holds the best qualities to achieve our goals with harmony, effectiveness, and resilience. Up

ArtWorks The artwork is the finished creation. A material one. But with a great power to move people. That’s why I seek a kind of beauty that leads us toward a possible natural reality. I want the pieces to bring beauty and joy into your life. I create things that require little maintenance. I prefer to make the creations as durable as possible. Although the fragility of some pieces is part of their expression. As I express myself through compositions made of interlocking figures, some of them allow for periodic repetition in a horizontal direction. These are pieces cut in metal, with figures dimensioned in such a way that they fit together perfectly to cover the surface of a cylinder. In this way, there is no beginning or end. I call them Continuum . They can cover columns, but for me, they are especially suited for tabletops of various kinds. I am working on a format that has proven to be very interesting for enhancing all types of spaces. The figures cover the entire surface, drawn with simple lines and in great quantity. As a result, a casual glance is satisfied by the graphic composition, without even realizing there are figurative elements within it. Because of this similarity, I’ve been calling it Tissue. We are also launching creations that allow another person to participate in the artwork. The Mutatis Mutandi . These are figures, modular or whole, cut into metal, with the figurative elements cut out in such a way that they can be colored or textured in any way someone desires, using a very simple method. The colored or textured part will include the interlocking figure or group of figures as a finishing layer, attached with bolts and nuts. The creation leaves our hands in a defined form, but at the same time, it leaves absolute freedom for someone else's creative participation, since the color or texture will have only our work as its finishing base. Or it can serve as a foundation for creating Panels and Mandalas, in co-authorship, in various sizes and for a wide range of purposes. Up

It is a clock with hands that are moved by people. The idea is that there is increasing participation from everyone so that the time set on the clock is as correct as possible. Installed in a public place, it will be accessible to any citizen, which will make everyone aware that any inhabitant of that community is part of it since, over time, the clock will be kept with little delay throughout the day. Everyone will have access. Children going to school in the morning, public maintenance staff, the homeless, workers of all kinds, people on the margins of society, etc. Everyone will participate anonymously in a common objective that is expected to be a source of pride for that society, keeping it maintained and functioning correctly. Its final format is adapted to the conditions of the installation site, maintaining the concept and characteristics necessary for each case. Up

Aqui somos fortes porque somos muitos e estamos juntos para melhorar as condições de vida no nosso querido planeta. US CONTACT US Esfera Nativa is a company that creates impactful experiences combining art, design, and purpose. We create systems that touch people with the elegance and subtlety of art, awakening their best feelings in ways that are easily identified with a brand. Inspired by the wisdom of native nature, we transform spaces and relationships with simplicity, beauty, and effectiveness. We believe in Art with Design as a powerful force to raise awareness, bringing safe and accessible solutions with respect and freedom. Native nature as a principle; Art as transformation; Design with purpose; Accessible, safe, and sustainable solutions. Like the Semente System, which starts from a replicable artwork installed at the Wire Opera House and has already interacted with more than 1 million people. It is effective in fighting hunger and has positive impacts on the native environment, people, and society. Or like Espírito Feminino, featuring a huge mandala-garden that allows tens of thousands of people to plant simultaneously — physically or virtually — these gardens as a gift to loved ones. Each artwork aims to improve an important aspect of people’s lives and the natural or social environment by raising awareness. Because they are positive, we want them to reach as many people as possible. That’s why we involve media and companies. Each artwork always initiates a system that ensures excellent returns for everyone involved, with safety and effectiveness. We develop these projects using various tools such as Service Design, which has earned us international recognition for excellence by the Service Design Network (SDN), based in Germany. At Esfera Nativa, we improve the way things are done through our Solutions, as in the project Much Beyond Medicine. We always assemble the best team necessary for each project, bringing both cost savings and effectiveness. And we do not create just Art, but Design, in our Creations. Like our interactive exhibitions and tactile paintings, which bring graphic compositions to visually impaired people. We bring all of this together to improve people, society, and the environment through our Actions. Of the creations presented, all works from 2009 to October 2023 were co-authored and developed in partnership with Claudio Araujo and Cristina Yamada while at Aryaú. From October 2023 onwards, the artist created Esfera Nativa, incorporating the collection and experience of Aryaú Design. Up

CONTINUUM Our compositions with figures that fit perfectly allow for adaptation to cylindrical surfaces, making the design have no defined beginning or end. A continuous flow of figures. This allows for several uses, including covering cylindrical columns or creating tabletops. The result is a work that evokes infinity, and in the end, we create a rhythm that captures our gaze. Up

Baby Dreams Store To play, press and hold the enter key. To stop, release the enter key. Children's Goods Store with a strong tradition of quality customer service, related services, and customer interaction. We redesigned the store's presentation while it was in operation, optimizing the space and emphasizing the concept of safety and the quality of products and services. The strong involvement of the owners, customer service team, suppliers, partners, and clientele helped solidify the high-quality service concept and expanded interactions with suppliers, architects, and decorators. This led to the creation of an annual event, Casa Baby, in collaboration with the marketing team, to showcase children's decoration projects. Our work influenced both the physical space and the service approach, helping to strengthen the brand's presence. We also supported the change of the store's concept to a new, high-end location. We managed to optimize the processes, minimizing the impact of implementations and costs. Up

Tissue These are flat pieces cut from steel or other self-supporting materials, filled with the same figure that fits together perfectly. From there, we use these resulting planes to enrich spaces of all kinds. It is a simple, limitless repetition. With this, a casual glance will be satisfied by the composition, without immediately realizing that there are figurative elements within it, which will only be gradually perceived. Up

CERMEN To play, press and hold the enter key. To stop, release the enter key. Cermen Clinic, a Nuclear Medicine clinic, presented one of our greatest challenges when it sought to improve its customer service. We began with the fact that it deals with radioactivity, conducting exams to detect diseases, generally serious ones. Their customer service was competent and caring but within a traditional framework. Our methodology proved to be both necessary and appropriate when we had to deal with patients and their companions who were either living with or facing the prospect of living with a serious illness. Additionally, we were working in a complex and demanding medical environment, impacting both medical staff and administration. We also had to operate within strict regulations, not only medical, but also related to the handling of radioactive substances. On the other hand, we had the full support, involvement, and commitment of everyone responsible for the clinic, which allowed us to achieve excellent results with high quality. We decided to create an experience that would welcome everyone into a peaceful environment, fostering a more positive outlook on their reality. By doing so, we allowed the trust and relaxation of everyone involved to positively influence all processes from the very first contact with the clinic. We began by removing any medical references from the initial reception area. We transformed the reception into a large living room and introduced an art gallery within it. The careful curation allowed the public to engage with exhibitions that aligned with the clinic's service ethos. Here, the involvement and dedication of the clinic's managers and staff, from structuring the new model to its preparation and implementation, ensured not only the quality of the proposal but also the excellence of the service and the ongoing maintenance of this new model with excellence. We achieved unanimous high satisfaction from all those involved in the process: owners, patients, companions, suppliers, doctors, technicians, administrative staff, customer service, regulatory bodies, and the community. The environment was positively impacted by strengthening the already strict adherence to medical and radioactive safety standards. And society benefited from the creation of an Art Gallery in the city. Up
