Bichos e Passaros (Animals and Birds)
1965
A vibrant and fantastical menagerie of stylized creatures fills the composition, rendered in bold, rhythmic patterns characteristic of Chico da Silva's visionary folk art. The animals and birds are depicted with an almost mythological quality, their forms intertwining in a lush, decorative arrangement that reflects the artist's roots in the popular art traditions of northeastern Brazil. Rich earth tones and vivid pigments applied in tempera bring the imaginary bestiary to life with an energetic, hand-crafted immediacy.
