A melancholic modern Impressionist street scene at an intimate Rio Carnival bloco, capturing the timeless poetry of Pierrot. The central figure is a slender young Pierrot in traditional white satin, his face powdered pale, a single black teardrop painted beneath his left eye. His voluminous sleeves and pantaloons are rendered in soft, flowing brushstrokes of ivory and pearl. Upon his head rests the classic black skullcap. His expression is one of tender longing—eyes cast slightly downward, lips parted in a bittersweet half-smile. He holds a single white gardenia. His "mask" is not a mask at all, but the delicate, heartbreaking vulnerability of his exposed face. Beside him, a mischievous Pierrette in pale blue and silver giggles, her own face dotted with tiny glittering sequins. Behind them, the blurred Carnival crowd swirls in joyous indifference—dabs of fuchsia, gold, and emerald—while the lone Pierrot remains a quiet island of nostalgic sadness. The famous Arcos da Lapa loom softly in the distance, rendered in hazy violet and ochre. Late afternoon light casts long, poetic shadows. The signature @digo.a.i is discreetly written in cursive on a crumpled love letter peeking from his sleeve.
A street photography shot captured during the Carnival, showing a young person dressed as a Pierrot with white face makeup, sad black eyes, and a black tear on the cheek, wearing a shiny white satin ruffled costume with pearl button details and a black beanie, holding a white lily flower in their left hand, walking amongst a crowd in a blur, with a young girl in a blue sparkly dress and glittering face paint smiling happily behind them on the left, and blurred figures in colorful costumes in the background, with mountains under a purplish sky in the distance.
