Cidade do Meu Andar

In City of My Walk, Antonio Carlos Barro pays an emotional tribute to the poet Mario Quintana, capturing the essence of urban life through an abstract composition. With thick brushstrokes and vibrant colors, the canvas reveals, in a stylized manner, the silhouettes of houses and buildings that make up a city’s landscape. Each carefully chosen color brings a sense of movement and vitality, reflecting the energy of the streets and the diversity of the people who inhabit them. The work resonates with Quintana’s poetry, evoking feelings of nostalgia and belonging, as Barro transforms the city into a living canvas of emotions and memories. The combination of forms and colors in the painting invites the viewer to explore not only the city but also the stories contained within each building and corner, connecting past and present in a vibrant celebration of urban life.
