Collection Favelas The “Favelas” of Maria Fernanda Vogel Lacayo Text Porfirio Garcia Romano Favela is the name given to the precarious and informal settlements that grow around or within the cities of Brazil. The origin of the name favela, appears to refer to towering hills, full of homes that lack basic infrastructure, in places close to Rio de Janeiro, where you could find bountiful amounts of bitter cassava known as mandioca, rugged, of furry leaves and edible seeds, called faveleira. These human settlements, that lack ownership rights, with conglomerations of houses whose quality falls below the average, without urban services or social equipment, placed in areas that are geologically inadequate or environmentally sensitive, is the topic of a Nicaraguan painter, who appears to grab an infinite amount of boxes of precarious material, squeezed tightly overflowing at the seams. Maria Fernanda Vogel Lacayo (Managua, 1995), captures in her first painting the double vision of the wild beauty of the huge hills, green vegetation, bays and mild and soft kisses, that the ocean gives on the edges of the beaches of sand or maybe furious kisses smashing against the cliffs; with the unusual combination of the human imprint of the favelas. In summary, the beauty of the natural scenery, unattainable and deep, with the urban agglomeration that invades it. In a quest to paint the extreme pain, despair and sadness that the people of the wasteland go through every day, Maria Fernanda alludes to the topic of what is urban in the painting. In her work, she embeds a consequential proposal with her series “Favelas”, where the cubed precarious houses, are surrounded by square wrapping, door and windows, lights and shadows, shallow and empty, are hinted at by some plastic elements, squares, lines and colors, which are the common factor, that brings her together her set of paintings
