Amelia Toledo was a pioneering Brazilian artist celebrated for her experimental work in sculpture, installation, and drawing. Her art frequently explores the intersection of natural phenomena, materiality, and sound, often integrating organic forms with industrial materials to create immersive sensory experiences.

Singing Dragon (2007) exemplifies Toledo’s interest in sound and form, employing perforated sound stone mounted on a concrete column to engage with acoustic properties and sculptural presence. The work invites viewers to contemplate the relationship between nature, architecture, and sensory perception, highlighting Toledo’s innovative approach to material and space.

Toledo’s work has been widely exhibited across Brazil and internationally, including at the São Paulo Biennial and major museums such as the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York and the São Paulo Museum of Modern Art. Her contributions to contemporary sculpture and sound art have cemented her legacy as a key figure in Latin American art.
