The present text aims to explain how the use of geometrical shapes, that occurred in the works of Gilvan Samico, has interfered with the construction of the images’ space, seeking to understand some of the meanings that the woodcuts can take from that transformation onwards. To that end, the images are comparatively analyzed, considering their relationship with words and memory, their cultural traits and their temporality. Conceiving the power of the image as an object that awakens stories and memories, what is inherent to the engravings is placed in parallel with the construction of a rational mathematical thought in art. Samico’s work is marked by the survival of memory images, that is transversal in techniques, themes and form.
