This painting of the skier was installed in Cova da Moura,
neighbourhood in the periphery of Lisbon habited mostly by people from Cabo Verde.
The person who moved from its country of origin to
culturally different environment is
sometimes like the skier in the city,
or the skier in the summer:
using the tools he has in inappropriate situation. More
than to
show this work to
the audience of gallery, i
wished to
bring it close to
the people,
who it is
talking about...
I would like to thank to people from Associacão cultural Moinho da Juventude (specially Lieve and Mimi) and people from Cova da Moura for their support and enthusiasm. Big thanks to Mariana Ribeiro for her help.
