This stunning sculpture by Marcelo Fidélis, carved from wood, captures the essence of a totem figure. The detailed carvings create an abstract and powerful image that appears to bring ancient wisdom to life. The piece conveys a feeling of majesty and history, as if it carries with it memories and traditions of times past. The artist's ability to create intricate details makes this work a symbolic and moving representation of ancestral legacy.
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.
