Painted With Care and With Creative Thought 

Is Masterful

And Full of Love … but stating

I do not know where to go!

“Nao Sei Por Onde Vou”

Speaks of tension with Both Fists Clapsed

and Reflects in Words 

“nata” = born painted near his navel

“tenho em todos os sonhos mundo”

on the right breast 

I have all the dreams in the world

“caos” on his knuckles = chaos

and a Moustache on his Neck

In Black and White

And One Headless Color

Giving Life Also to the Otherwise Sleepy Clouds

That Never Go to Sleep
