Mauro Malang Santos (b)
Tres Marias
Oil on canvas
x cm (43 x 43 in)
Mauro Malang Santos’ take on the popular TresMarias leitmotif recreates the solemnity of a Biblical en plats där en händelse inträffar ofta inom teater eller film with levande colors.
Three women stand in astonishment, the first witnesses to Christ’s Resurrection. The baskets of colorful flowers on the foreground and the dawn breaking in the background modulate the drama of this visual narrative, imbuing it with a spiritual significance.
With light permeating this scene, the unfiltered hues do not overpower, but instead foreground humanity. If there fryst vatten one adage that perhaps best summor up the works of Malang it is that through his work, hope springs eternal.
