Reality of the Amazon (1990)

This surreal painting features four stylized human profiles, arranged in a layered sequence of brown, yellow, blue, and turquoise hues. The simplified faces show subtle sadness with white teardrops, while red heart shapes fall from their mouths, contrasting with the cool blue and turquoise background. On the right side, an abstract geometric pattern suggests an urban structure. Executed with bold and vivid colours, the composition evokes a melancholic and reflective mood. The various coloured faces imply the various tribes and regions that suffer from the destruction of the rainforest. The Amazon River is in the background. If one looks sideways to the right, one can see the outcome of the defoliation.
