According to the United Nations, today's the International day for the Right to the Truth day concerning gross Human Rights Violations and for the Dignity of Victims.
In what this matter is regarded, there is still a long way ahead of us, specially in what women are concerned. More clarity in this subject is required.
"Clara" is its title and it was named after a strong female friend of mine, in whom I got inspired while I did this work. In Portuguese, Clara, also means clearness, clarity.
Done with many layers, colors and materials, the mixed media technique used in this portrait, mimics to the complexity of the emotional scars and courage required for the victims to speak up.
May ethics and justice win. Let's allow the truth in. It's about time.
Powerful work... The small traces of the drawing can be interpreted as many small scars that this woman has the courage to bring to the light!
