1 - What does Visual Poetry mean to you?
The visual poetry is an inter-semiotic product that involves verbal codes, which equal visual codes.

2 - Who were and/or are your sources of inspiration, your models (either poets or artistic movements) in this artistic medium?
In 1966, the movement of concrete poetry and in 1967, the process-poem. Respectively, my sources of research are: Décio Pignatari, the De Campos brothers: Augusto and Haroldo. However, my greatest source is Wlademir Dias Pino.

3 - Why did you choose to create, or why do you enjoy creating, Visual Poetry as one of your artistic expressions?
Because I understand that visual poetry satisfies the graphical potentiality. It's an aesthetic of a semiotic society: cinema = traffic code = photos = television = comics = outdoor.

4 - When did you first adopt Visual Poetry as a mode of expression?
Since 1967, when the process-poem started in Rio de Janeiro and Rio Grande do Norte.
