This mesmerizing painting evokes the intensity of war through the perspective of indigenous cultures. The work incorporates colorful masks that cover faces and figures, imbued with religious and cultural symbolism. The use of vibrant, contrasting colors creates a visual dynamic that captures the eye, while the mixed technique adds layers of texture and depth. The painting not only tells a story of conflict, but also celebrates the resilience and spirituality of indigenous tribes, reflecting faith and tradition. A true window into the history and soul of indigenous peoples, this work promises to enrich any art collection.
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.
