This stunning, up-close portrait of a young native boy attempts to capture on canvas the beauty and character of the indigenous peoples of the Amazon. The young man portrayed in the painting faces the viewer, wearing a placid, yet vulnerable expression on his face inviting closer inspection. His few, colorful accessories and traditional face markings suggest a deep connection to a now-distant, pre-colonial past. This piece was created by celebrated Brazilian artist Claudia Barbosa, born in the Northeast region of Brazil. At present, Barbosa lives in Rio de Janeiro, where she has established a following for her remarkable, vibrant art. “The Innocence” features warm amber, green, and red tones, and measures 31” by 23” framed.
One of a kind.
Dimensions: 31"h x 23"w
