Much like the groovy, latin rhythm João Donato song it was named after, the 80 x 50 centimeters oil on canvas painting Bananeira encapsulates a feeling of warmth and latin, sophisticated playfulness through its combination of naturesque, warm and cold colors, along with its recurring long, rounded shapes accented by dotted and crenellated patterns.
Bananeira
80 x 50 cm
“E parece feliz, bebendo as águas
Do céu, para o consolo das raízes,
Como se viessem transformar-lhe
as mágoas
Nos encantos das árvores felizes.”
