In this intriguing sculpture, Marcelo Fidélis employs natural wood to create a work that reflects both the past and the present. The sculpture invokes feelings of protection and concealment, symbolized by elements such as holster, scabbard and cover. The brown color palette and rich textures nod to nature and vintage, while the abstract design challenges traditional perception. This work is more than a simple sculpture; is a visual journey that invites the viewer to explore layers of meaning and history.
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.
