Elephant StatueQue Seja Doce

By Érica Morais São Paulo 2017

Art inspired by an excerpt from the tale "Dragons doesn't know paradise" by Caio Fernando Abreu (renowned Brazilian writer), the nice elephant "Que Seja Doce" wants to surprise viewers and make the routine of São Paulo more sweet and joyful even for an instant. So, let it be sweet. Every morning, when I open the windows to let in the sunshine or the grayness of a day, that's just what I repeat, let it be sweet. When is sunny and the sun strikes my face creased with sleep or insomnia, as I wacht the particles of dust floating in the air like a little universe, I repeat seven times for luck: let it be sweet let it be sweet let it be sweet and so on." (Caio F. Abreu). And let be sweet everything that has to be!

Description Elephant name: Que Seja Doce
Artist: Érica Morais
Parade: São Paulo 2017

Que Seja Doce, created by Érica Morais in São Paulo 2017, is a poetic elephant statue inspired by Caio Fernando Abreu’s words: “Let it be sweet.” The artist designed this hand-painted elephant to bring sweetness and joy into everyday life, even if only for a moment. As Érica explains: “Every morning, when I open the windows to let in the sunshine or the grayness of a day, that’s just what I repeat: let it be sweet. When it’s sunny and the sun strikes my face creased with sleep or insomnia, as I watch the particles of dust floating in the air like a little universe, I repeat seven times for luck: let it be sweet, let it be sweet, let it be sweet, and so on. And let be sweet everything that has to be.”
This message of hope and tenderness is beautifully captured in Que Seja Doce, making it a colourful and symbolic piece of elephant art — perfect for collectors, literature lovers, and anyone who cherishes art with meaning.
Note: Each piece is hand-painted in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and may vary slightly in appearance.
