Description of the Artwork “Perplexed Indigenous People in Primitivist Art”
In this painting, Marcelo Fidélis masterfully captures the essence of sadness and loneliness through an expressionist sketch portrait. The cold tones and details of ice and frost evoke a feeling of winter, while the complexity of texture and use of light enhance the emotional state of the subject depicted. The influence of primitivism and naive art is clearly visible, providing an emotional depth that speaks directly to the viewer.

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.
