SKIER IN COVA DA MOURA

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.
