Junqueira introduces us to scenes where the real and the fictitious, the physical and the allegorical, the present and the past, the adult and the child are combined; where History becomes memory.

Flavia Junqueira holds a PhD in Visual Arts from the Institute of Arts of the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP), a Masters in Visual Poetry from the University of São Paulo (USP) and a BA in Photography and a BA in Arts from the Armando Alvares Penteado Foundation (FAAP).
Junqueira introduces us to scenes where the real and the fictitious, the physical and the allegorical, the present and the past, the adult and the child are combined; where History becomes memory. She creates whimsical and festive imaginary landscapes, where we immerse ourselves in the distant scenery of national culture, feeling the weight of History, listening to the silence of the past. In her works, the balloons are the performers who take the stage, whether it is the theater, the street or the sky.
