Rio Paradis (2021)

Decolonizing Imaginaries is the title of Alvaro's visual research in Visual Arts, as part of masters degree completed in 2023.

In this chapter, the spread out beach imagery is chosen to provoque the possibility of a second look upon some considered Brazilian classics symbols. Brazilian painters Almeida Junior (1850-1899) and Glauco Rodrigues (1929-2004) are the main references to this collection.
