The work of Pedro Vaz is marked by a strong sense of consistency and coherence. A look at his personal trajectory provides understanding of the strength and depth with which he has, over the last few years, questioned the concepts that exist around the subject of the natural world, the definition of landscape and the interpretation of representation. That same consistency and coherence, which is also present in the texts that accompany each of his works, is a step further towards, or perhaps a new look at, the relationship between man and nature, in the form of an act that is very close to the experience itself. The representation of landscape [in his work] becomes a phenomenon of social fiction, Pedro Pousada states in Stimmung (2014), which references the vocabulary of Heidegger. On the other hand Inês Grosso, in her text Atlântica (2015), states that: Pedro Vaz explores the relationship...between contemporary man and nature from the starting point of a vision that is non-anthropocentric, ecological and integrated. The issue at hand is the search to bring nature and culture closer together to enable sensibilities that are distinct from those that have arisen as a result of the colonization of natural spaces, i.e. the deconstruction of the concept of landscape as a symbolic mental construct that is essentially human, an idea that has been defended throughout the history of art, according to Lilian Fraigi in Terra Firme (2018). excerpt from the text of Aurélien Le Genissel
