In this fascinating work of art, Marcelo Fidélis brings to life a powerful expression of wisdom through the vibrant colors of nature. The influence of primitivism is evident in the simplified style and archetypal forms, creating a connection with ancestral roots. The arch over the subject's head symbolizes protection, reinforcing the feeling of security and self-awareness. The emotional richness and symbolic depth of this painting capture the complexity of the human experience, making it a captivating and contemplative piece.
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.
