This captivating work immerses the viewer on a cultural and spiritual journey. The vibrant combination of acrylic paint and oil pastel brings to life the portrait of a caboclo, an emblematic figure of Brazilian forests.

Marcelo Fidélis, Portugal
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.
