Masterpieces – The History of a Period

The Banners (100 x 82 cm – 1995)

This is a pyramidal composition. The background of the canvas combines the national colors in a crowd defending the nation with raised arms. In a subtle geometry, lines cross each other at the summit of the pyramid, with a maternity forming the foreground. The whole work is full of very human feeling and expression, being a poem that offers the Nation a hymn of love and of mystery.

Some bluish tints emphasize the areas of white and the collective movements. The human subjects stand like banners in the ground. Such details as the couples, the girls with plaits and red bows, the children in their mother’s arms, increase the effect of emotion and surprise.
