The Coup, the Prison and others Maneuvers Incompatible with the Democracy, 2018, oil on canvas, 146,5x113cm
Former president Lula’s speech before his imprisonment combines in a single scene the two latest presidents responsible for nearly four terms in Brazil. The reproduction of this image in the painting, which is the central object of the composition, does not suggest any political position; rather it locates the work in time. The work is then completed by the title, where I put myself against the latest political events in Brazil, from the media parliamentary coup - which caused the ruin of a so long-fought-for democracy in the past and which seemed to us to be an irrevocable asset – that removed president Dilma Rousseff and culminated in an imprisonment without a crime that was articulated at a speed never seen in the Brazilian legal history, so that the biggest political leader in Brazil would be barred from running for president in 2018.
