Cícero Dias — Cabra cega
Cícero Dias

Cabra cega

A dreamlike watercolor scene unfolds in soft, luminous hues, capturing the Brazilian modernist spirit of Cícero Dias through fluid, organic forms and a sense of playful innocence. The composition evokes the childhood game of blind man's bluff — *cabra cega* — with figures that seem to drift between reality and reverie, their movements rendered in loose, lyrical brushstrokes. Dias's signature blend of northeastern Brazilian imagery and surrealist influence infuses the work with a nostalgic warmth and poetic ambiguity.
