Araiké Treccani da Silva is interested in the animistic aspects that can be found in art and nature: he treats the sculpture as a landscape, as if it were alive, in constant change. He is inspired by shamanic and ritualistic experiences he grew up with, translating them into performance, activating his artworks and interacting with the public. He is concerned about the use of material, movement, and sound practices as expressions of cultural resilience.

 

He often uses found materials such as fabric, mirrors, stones, wood, cardboard, metal, and concrete. He understands his body as an instrument, using it to play rhythms and encourage collective performances. Accepting the becoming, being guided by the process, is an opportunity for encounter. In some recent works, Araiké Treccani da Silva uses the term symbiosis (from the Greek συμβίωσις "live together"), as a metaphor to describe the coexistence between different materials and dialectics: the fight and the dance, cardboard and concrete, the masculine and the feminine, wood and metal, the animal and the vegetable, seeking a synthesis between apparent polarities.
