Description

Saci is a Brazilian folk creature with interesting origins and variations. Mixing elements of indigenous, european and african mythologies, it's a genuinely brazilian legend! I've tried to express this combination in this painting.

There are many variations, but in short Saci is a small, black and one-legged being. He smokes a pipe and wears a red cap that gives him magic powers. He is a bit mischievous and has the ability to cause swirls. In some versions he is knowledgeable about plants, especially medicinal ones, and also guards them.

This was the first painting in which I've started a stronger habit of asking other artists for feedbacks and it was a great experience, here is my thanks to everyone who've helped me <3
