This painting is part of the series "Heroínas do Norte de Minas e Heróis Caboclos" Heroines from Northern Minas and Caboclo Heroes, exhibited in a solo exhibition at the Regional Museum of Northern Minas Gerais, Brazil, in July 2023. Dona Firmina, Seu Zé's wife, had the longest standing stall at the Taiobeiras fair. She dressed in character every Saturday in a bright yellow dress, the colour of the pequi fruit she sold, and decorated the bench in her stall with white linen tablecloths embroidered with sequins. Dona Firmina was devoted to Iansã and Nossa Senhora Aparecida. Younger sister of “Sá Mocinha” the healer, Dona Firmina, with her “strong prayers”, was much sought after by mothers in the region, when their babies suffered from ill health or were under the spell of the evil eye.

M. Petrone (b. 1975, Brazil) To Petrone, painting is a means through which re-thinking culture is suggested to the viewer. His figurative studies reject historically imposed aesthetics and focus on abbreviations of human routines, laid out on canvas, waiting to be studied, to be analysed. They are echoes of cultures, but culture can mean nothing at all, if in its representation one cannot see oneself rightfully depicted. Petrone tries to achieve revised ways of human representation in his paintings, and his approach to storytelling gazes at the unsung heroes and heroines of his culturally and linguistically hybrid upbringing, reflecting upon the rich, colourful and diverse elements they carry with them. Naturally attracted to painting figurative expressionism and narratives, Petrone visits the beautiful and the happy, as well as the eerie and the grotesque in his artwork. He has been featured in Artist Talk Magazine, British Vogue and Brazilian Newspapers. Petrone works and lives in London, United Kingdom.
