This series is called THE PORTRAIT OF A WORKING PEOPLE.
There are a total of six acrylic paintings, which portray the daily life of a people who make a living from work. A people facing daily difficulties, families unite and gather what little they can to guarantee food. The younger ones go to school and when they come back they don't play video games, they see this on TV, they have to help with the housework. The oldest ones are mostly the proletarian class, bricklayers, bakers, public transport collectors, mechanics, etc. They leave in the morning and there is no departure time. And if they do, they struggle to get home before 10 pm, eat, sleep and wake up to the same routine. With or without difficulties, these people smile and thank God for life, for the air, for the daily bread and, above all, for their health. This is the Mozambican people that surround me in the Aeroporto neighborhood.
