Sociedade Brasileira: Escravagismo vigente Painting

The title of this work is "Brazilian Society: Current Slavery", and is a reinterpretation of a caricature by Angelo Agostini, the greatest caricaturist of the Imperial Period, published in 1886, two years before the abolition of slavery in Brazil. About the series: Recently I visited my country for 40 days between December and January. This series is like a diary of this journey and I started to paint it in Rio de Janeiro. "Out of the seriousness" is an expression in Portuguese language that refers to something absurd, but here there's a game of word with the expression "out of series" . Since you live so much time away from your country, when you look back with other eyes, you value aspects that were previously so normalized to the point of ignoring them, and you start seeing them with a critical sense based on inevitable comparisons, especially for the clichés.
