Grande Honra ter sido convidado pelo curador Marco Antonio Teobaldo para pintar esse pequeno mural no Instituto dos Pretos Novos. Lugar incrível e parte da nossa estória (esquecida e vergonhosa). Um cemitério de escravos que chegavam à cidade já debilitados de saúde pela viagem em navio e morriam antes mesmo de serem comprados. Eram jogados todos juntos numa mesma vala coletiva, sem respeito às tradições das religiões africanas que consideram o sepultamento uma premissa para uma continuação da vida em outro plano junto aos seus antepassados. Enfim, o memorial foi inaugurado essa semana e está lindo..! Escavações arqueológicas e muitas estórias e personagens vocês encontram ali para um bom bate papo, vale a visita! O bairro é ótimo! Um Salve pra Tia Lúcia, Mercedes, Petrúcio, Reinaldo, Júlio e todo mundo que nos recebeu lá com os braços abertos!

Really touched by being invited to paint this little piece in the IPN. The IPN is an memorial to the horrible (and not that far history) that we have here in Brazil. Turns out that we were the last country in the world to abolish slavery… sad, isn’t  it? Well, brutality and cruelty were considered “normal” back in that days. The IPN honor the memory of the slaves that arrived in Rio in not a good shape and after a little time passed away before being sold… They were disposed all together in the same hole, crushed and carbonized. they discovered it couple of years ago, when a nice couple - Mercedes and Petrúcio- bought a house in the Gamboa, a neigborhood that has its roots as a slave market. After digging just a bit, they discovered the remains of approximately 30.000 persons… So they decided to convert their home into a memorial for those whose have never had even a name. Thanks for inviting me for doing this little piece inside and cheers to the curator of the memorial, Marco Antonio Teobaldo!

My street

11.30.11

It´s been a while since I started to make characters made of wood and spread it around, like my birds… This time I wanted to make something fun at my street here in Rio de Janeiro… and interact with the people I hang each single day when I go to work or to the beach… They are all crazy about soccer and they are all day long teasing each other about who´s going to win Brazilian championship…Well, this is my way to say: -” It´s nice to be around again!”

Nice graffiti day in with my friend OX (Rotterdam) from Lastplak

By the way,  that would be a double ticket here in Barcelona: Peeing at the streets and painting graffiti at the same time…! :)

Rebirth

09.01.10

sometimes things happens in a way that makes you see life differently. Spreading birds for me is like sharing good vibes and positive feellings… And understand that the place that where it comes from is inside of each one of us. This painting is about it and dedicated to Dennis. Rebirth.
