From the Eyes of Dall’Acqua
Born in July 24, 1950, in a city cal led Araraquara, which means “House of the Sun”, in Tupi-Guarani language, in
the State of São Paulo, Brazil , Dall ’Acqua began his adventures in graphite on paper when was a child.
“I remember my f irst design. . . an indigenous group.. . a mother and her daughter , seated on a rock. . . it was a homework.. . I loved to do that . . . …the beginning of
everything!” Then, l ife took Dall ’Acqua to the career of engineering, planning and designing hydroelectr ic plants. . . in most of
his l ife . But art never left his soul and now he is restarting what
l ikes to do …in real ity. Some works, developed in recent years , are being shown here. . . most of the oldest were lost . . . disappeared with
t ime. . . or donated to fr iends now unknow.

Looking to the future, Dall’Acqua has his real desire satisfied... finally.
Experienced by the life lived, with the colours of a dynamic Brazil, of suffered pains, appear, thru the works, the lights that shine in his eyes.
"The most important lesson I learned made me aware that I am nothing more than the most humble of men, neither least than the most powerful of them". (Roberto Dall'Acqua)
This could be “The End”... however, is just “The Start”...
The works here presented will be ready...
