Fusing his architectural perspective with an acute critique of visual communication, Rodrigo Spinel creates Roberto Burle Marx, a highlight from his Terms and Conditions series. Executed in Chinese ink on 250 g Fabriano paper, the artwork presents a meticulously drawn postage stamp honoring the organic landscape motifs of legendary Brazilian designer Roberto Burle Marx, overlaid atop a modern shipping air waybill complete with barcodes, tracking IDs, and legal terms. Spinel contrasts the historical role of postage stamps—which once carried localized cultural narratives—against the standardized, contractual imagery of modern global commerce. This original conceptual fine art drawing offers collectors a sophisticated dialogue between modernist graphic history and contemporary trade logistics.
 
The project is based in the contrast of the two images, the air waybill and the postage stamp, from different times but similar in their function. The artist seeks to enlighten the change in the use of the image, to reflect on how some languages disappear due to the globalization and new ones emerge with unified visual parameters. Formerly the stamps told stories from a country, a place through their image, nowadays the air waybill is a contract with terms and conditions.
