About The Artwork
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. "Seu Mauro" prepared medicinal concoctions in bottles, called "garrafadas" according to the knowledge passed on to him by his father, from a mixture of herbs, seeds and natural products, such as honey and arnica. Seu Mauro's garrafadas were famous for treating and curing pneumonia. Seu Mauro was an astute accordion and guitar player, and he was part of the Folia de Reis group, which carried the Flag of São Sebastião by all houses of the farms and villages, until it was hoisted on a farm chosen in a prize draw, on a scheduled date, in the month of June. Seu Mauro was very kind and wise. Everyone in Taiobeiras asked him for advice in times of difficulty.

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.
