Description This is the second commissioned painting I´m making this year. I had one month to make it. It has a strong perspective, which I think is one of its best qualities.

This is a scene of my home town São Paulo, in Brazil. It is a viaduct called "Santa Efigênia", in the city´s historical centre.

Acrylic on canvas - 1,10x2,40m - 2004

Wonderful! I love the way the street is empty except for two lone pedestrians to give it scale.

hey i´m happy you feel that way, i don´t think my work does that to people so often, it´s not everyone who feels so intensely

Wow. This is lovely. I hope you don't mind, but I'd like to put it in my portfolio on perspective for an art class that I'm taking- I need nice examples of perspective paintings done by other artists.
Once, again, it's great. The colors are beautiful.

entao, hoje eu dei um passeio pelo centro mesmo tipo, comecei pela liberdade e fui visitar a feirinha do ano novo chines.
depois na volta passei pela catedral (que eu amo de paixao) e pela consolação,
é uma pena mesmo que eu estou sem minha camera. ;(

eu imaginava grandes fotos!

Absolutely stunning. Brilliant perspective and colour, particularly in a difficult medium to create large works in. I'm thoroughly impressed by this one, but the entire gallery is a joy.

amazing detail, i wish i had the patience to do something like this. I think its great that you have a page on the process of doing the piece, it actually helps me alot, to see how a painting develops. well done.

Your light/dark balance and your strong use of perspective make it enjoyable for the eyes. If it's that nice looking, I want to go to Brazil!

Putz, meu... nem precisou dizer onde é...

Caraleo, meu... que absurdamente lindo!!! Receber um daily deviation foi pouco pra isso. Deveria ter recebido é um weekly!!! Os prédios, a Catedral... aquela bagunça visual que é nossa cidade transformada em arte...

Parabéns, um trabalho sem igual!!! Mesmo com o caos que é, me faz sentir orgulho de viver em SP!!!
