A vibrant modern Impressionist street scene captured in the heart of a Rio Carnival bloco, where fantasia de rua takes center stage. The viewpoint is intimate, at eye level within the pulsating crowd. The central figure is a reveler in an astonishing homemade costume—a walking, shimmering constellation of mirrored fragments and recycled silver foil, each piece catching and reflecting the golden afternoon light. Tiny planets and stars, cut from iridescent plastic and sewn onto flowing tulle, orbit her body as she twirls. Her expression is pure, unfiltered joy—mouth wide in song, eyes sparkling. Her face is unpainted, unmasked, her natural beauty the canvas. Beside her, friends wear equally inventive creations: one transformed into a giant, whimsical abacaxi (pineapple) of yellow felt and green ribbons; another a living papel picado banner, colorful tissue paper strips fluttering in the breeze. The famous Rio promenade is a blur of motion, confetti suspended mid-air like frozen fireworks. The sea behind is a shimmering plane of cerulean and white horizontal strokes. The mood is one of democratic creativity, irreverent humor, and collective euphoria—Carnaval not as spectacle, but as personal, playful expression. The signature @digo.a.i is playfully hidden as a tiny tag on a stray piece of confetti tumbling across the mosaic sidewalk.
A colorful and energetic painting of a beachside carnival parade, with three people in the foreground wearing elaborate costumes. The person on the left is dressed as a pineapple, with a large, bright yellow pineapple body and green leafy crown. They are smiling broadly at the viewer. In the center, a woman with dark hair is wearing a dazzling costume consisting of a shimmering, silver sequined corset-style top with pointed shoulders, a full, sheer white skirt adorned with numerous metallic silver stars and small Saturn planet models. She has a matching headpiece and necklace, and her mouth is open in excitement or song. On the right, a man with a beard is dressed in a vibrant, multi-colored costume resembling a feathered or leaf-like outfit with a matching crown. All three are standing on a black and white patterned tile walkway, which is strewn with colorful confetti and paper stars. In the background, a large crowd of people are visible, with the ocean and a bright sky beneath a slightly hazy sun. Colorful streamers and ribbons fly through the air above them. The overall scene is joyful and celebratory, capturing the lively spirit of a carnival.
