Form, Intuition and Graphic Thought In The Poetics of Wlademir Dias-Pino

Abstract

The poet Wlademir Dias-Pino explored experiential pathways of geometry, observing the deformations produced on a surface in order to support certain classifications. The focus of this study is to analyze how the poet's experience as a designer and his geometric intuition were instrumental in creating a poetics that breaks with verbal syntax. In this research, we seek to establish an analysis of the relationships between his literary work and mathematical principles associated with geometry. Dias-Pino operates from a material deconstruction of the letter, creating an autonomous semiotic system that requires a sensorial, not merely intellectual, experience from the reader. Some singularities of his poems, stemming from his experience as a graphic artist, will be analyzed. Knowledge of different printing techniques will be highlighted as a defining element of his work, in which tactile/visual information must be examined. Thus, it is concluded that his poetics constitutes an independent artistic project, whose understanding challenges the traditional boundaries between literature and design, demanding an interdisciplinary critical approach.
