Manguinhos

06.22.12 | No Comments

This´s a big mural in a super conflictive area here in Rio de Janeiro.
This area is quite dangerous, while I was painting there I saw cars being stolen, shootings between police and drug dealers, crack addicts stealing people…
Super tense
atmosphere… But this neighbourhood has a lot of  good people living there as well, with their childrens…  So I decided to paint a child´s dream.. playing and being happy.
The words that I wrote are from a Brazilian poet (Mario Quintana) and makes a wordplay that translated, it´s not that much fun… but it´s something like  “The will pass, I´ll be a Bird”

My piece is part of this big mural ( Rio´s biggest mural) and the other artists were Afa, Bruno Big, BR (Fleshbeck Crew), MDGA and Tarm. Big ups for our producer, Carol Lyra.
