About this item

"Using white, gray and black as primary colors, Brazilian artist Arnaldo de Moraes imprints his style on a scene that lets us inside the everyday life and the typical landscape of a favela in Rio de Janeiro. Simple houses usually made of recycled wood that are the artist's favorite theme are built along the hills. Children with their mothers and neighbors pass each other in the corridors of the neighborhood. Together, they are a tight community. This stunning work of art is crafted with acrylic paints on canvas in an abstract style.

Titled Favela Preta e Branca Media in Portuguese."

Arnaldo de Moraes

"My work has been included in a very important guide to Brazilian fine art: Guia de Artes Plásticas Brasil, compiled by Julio Louzada. I tend to depict Rio de Janeiro's urban landscapes – it is one of the most unique cities in the world where sea and mountains meet in harmonious encounter. Over the last 100 years the hillsides have become inhabited by low-income workers forming ghettos we call favelas. Considered to be marginal, favelas have gradually acquired more space and it is here where the real Carnaval and samba take place. Favelas are part of the Brazilian scene, they are full of life and are forever present in the hillsides and city limits."
