For May Carro Cabaleiro, light, its reflection and radiance play a fundamental role in her works of art. In order for the rays of light to penetrate the work of art naturally, integrate and make the work of art shine in a special way, it is essential to make the carrier material appear invisible. For this reason, May Carro Cabaleiro developed her own paper and a unique carrier plate made of a transparent, synthetic material that is tailored precisely to her works.

“Every day has a different color.”
​
May Carro Cabaleiro's works appear in monochrome color palettes, which she varies in phases in her large and small format works. With a broad brush stroke, the artist applies the finely tuned, highly pigmented colors, some of which consist of high-quality metals such as copper, in varying numbers of layers. In the process of painting, May Carro Cabaleiro lets herself be guided almost exclusively by herself, falling into a meditative state that allows her to paint from an inner calm and strength.
