Amelia Toledo is a renowned Brazilian artist whose multidisciplinary work investigates natural materials and their interaction with space and light. Her artistic practice spans sculpture, installation, and drawing, often inspired by natural phenomena and scientific concepts.

Mina de luz II #01 (2006), part of the Minas de cor series, exemplifies Toledo’s fascination with the tactile and visual qualities of minerals combined with industrial materials. The composition of crystal quartz pebbles juxtaposed with stainless and corten steel sheets creates a dynamic balance between organic and manufactured elements, reflecting themes of transformation and the passage of time.

Toledo’s work has been widely exhibited in Brazil and internationally, with pieces included in prestigious collections such as the Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo and the Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo. Her contributions have been influential in shaping contemporary Brazilian art.
