DESCRIPTION:

This work came to me at one of the most life-changing moments in my life. While I was starting my life in Canada, I found a canvas in the trash of my apartment with a poorly finished painting. I tested the pendulum painting technique for the first time and saw that a beautiful pattern had formed and an angel emerged from some paint stains... Months went by and I added some photoluminescent pigments to make the angel shine. And then, after some reflection on the destinies of my life, I decided to paint the city and I recognized that this angel was the second angel of the apocalypse who says that "Babylon the great has fallen, has fallen". And this was a symbol for me that the weight of bureaucracy created by the rules and laws that countries create to control people was falling on my life.

At that moment, I decided to return to my homeland, and suddenly my dear friend Arno Melo came to mind, whom I met when I arrived in Toronto, and an instant friendship was established. He is the president of Mellohawk Logistics, which deals with global bureaucracy in the transportation of goods, and I realized that this painting was for them, as a symbol of bureaucracy falling away and opening doors for their businesses. And, coincidentally or not, the painting was delivered in the twenty-second year of the company's existence.

I am grateful for everything that brought me this moment of awareness, and I hope that the energy of my painting will open all the doors of blessings for the company that welcomed him. And may God accompany my traveling friend in all his steps around the world.
