In this captivating painting by Marcelo Fidélis, Brazilian dance and folklore come to life through abstract shapes and vibrant colors. The mixed technique used emphasizes cultural richness and expressive diversity, from the mysterious masks to the vibrant Carnival celebrations. With elements that refer to religion, traditional clothing and the dynamics of culture, this work is not just a portrait, but a visual celebration of the Brazilian soul, evoking feelings of joy and ancestry.
Born in Barbacena- MG, Marcelo Fidélis is a self-taught artist. His relationship with art dates back to when he was a child and trained as a cook. He currently develops work using experimental techniques linked to sculpture, painting, cooking and skateboarding. His work revolves around the simple representation of the human face, establishing different variations through materials, textures, colors and expressions, towards a sculptural process of the surface, valuing manual work. His work is an invitation to a natural, pure and instinctive experience, combined with the primitive and the strength of the face as a means of encounter, presence and expression.
