Since my youth, I used to look in schoolbooks for images of slaves in the colonial period of Brazil. I tried to imagine what it was like to walk the streets of Rio de Janeiro or Salvador and find those slaves working like beasts of burden, walking around naked, sweaty and dirty, working in chains and being whipped.
The colonial caste society repressed any sensuality among whites, white women walked around covered in burkas, as in Islam today. But blacks, men or women, were seen as slaves, almost like animals, like cattle or mules.
For these creatures there was no god, mercy or dignity. Only work, exploitation and brutality.
All of this always disturbed me, these images led me to many masturbations. I wanted to be one of the black boys, living in the same miserable conditions as them.
The drawing is complete. Posted two stages, the initial version of the top and the final version.
are the Italian friend. I saw the picture just now. beautiful .. I also imagined to be forced to walk naked and work among the people who insult me and then as a reward torture and whip, hunger and thirst ... until death. very good as always. Your imagination is similar to mine.
