Description of the Artwork “Affectionate Monster: Allegory and Challenge”
In this fascinating work, Marcelo Fidélis captures the essence of disguise and transformation with a primitive and expressive approach. Vibrant colors and bold features present a mask that balances between affectionate and grotesque. Inspired by Carnival festivities and traditions, the piece evokes a powerful and enigmatic portrait that mixes popular culture and deeply personal artistic elements. It is a visual celebration that invites us to explore the limits of identity and personal expression.

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.
