WELCOME TO THE LUMINARIUMA PLACE OF WONDER!


A Luminarium is a sculpture where people

can enter, travel, rest,

feel, plunge in light and colour,

dream…


Come in!


Feel the delight of the light!


Mingle in the forms!


The sculptures are human work…


But the artist was the sun!


Oh, I’ve already thought


to paint the sky


in shades of blue

Photography by Suy / São Ludovino.just to be original


that it is already

blue

Photography by Suy / São Ludovino.There was someone

Photography by Suy / São Ludovino.who had the same

idea.


I don’t know if I will run away


Or bite the hook


There’s nothing new here


I’ve chased myself


through alleys

and lanes


paths without end


Until I lost myself

alone


without knowing


What colour I’m going to paint my life.


if I will run away

I don’t know


Or bite the hook

Me, photography by Luzia, my daughter.

anymore

Me, photography by Luzia, my daughter.

Under the sun.

Photography by Suy / São Ludovino.Under the sun there is LIFE!


Under the sun the sky has a thousand colours.


the fountain awaits the thirsty ones.Under the sun


Under the sun...


That’s where I want to be…

O AnzolRádio Macau

Ai eu já pensei mandar pintar o céuEm tons de azul, pra ser originalSó depois notei que azul já ele éHouve alguém que teve ideia igual

Eu não sei se hei-de fugirOu morder o anzolJá não há nada de novo aquiDebaixo do sol

Já me persegui por becos e ruelasDe horror, caminhos sem saídaAté que me perdi sozinha sem saberDe que cor vou pintar a minha vida



The HookRádio Macau

Oh, I’ve already thought to paint the skyIn shades of blue, just to be originalOnly then I noticed that it is already blueThere was someone who had the same idea.

I don’t know if I will run awayOr bite the hookThere’s nothing new here anymoreUnder the sun.

I’ve chased myself through alleys and lanesOf horror, paths without endUntil I lost myself alone without knowingWhat colour I’m going to paint my life.
