A stylized urban sketch and watercolor portrait of a Sambista do Morro (Samba dancer from the hill) during Rio's Carnival. Her mask is a creative assemblage of recycled materials: painted bottle caps forming a mosaic, colorful wire, and vibrant fabric scraps, embodying the community's spirit. A playful headdress is made from repurposed plastic flowers, paper streamers, and a small, spinning pinwheel. She wears a simple, brightly colored tank top and a flowing skirt, captured in a moment of joyful dance. The background is the iconic, vibrant alleyways of Santa Teresa, with its cobblestones, colorful murals, and laundry hanging between buildings, rendered in loose, energetic brushstrokes and ink lines. The signature "@digo.a.i" is written casually in ink on a painted wall in the background.
A vibrant watercolor painting depicts a joyful dark-skinned woman in a colorful Carnival costume, dancing in the middle of a cobblestone street. She has dark, curly hair and is wearing a beaded, ornate Carnival mask that covers her eyes, large hoop earrings, and a multi-strand beaded necklace. Her costume consists of a colorful crop top and a multi-layered skirt adorned with numerous rings and ribbons in various shades of red, orange, yellow, green, and blue. On her head, she wears an elaborate headdress made of bright, multi-colored flowers and feathers. In her right hand, raised high, she holds a multi-colored pinwheel. The background features old, colorful buildings on both sides of the street, with balconies and exposed clotheslines. In the distance, other people are seen walking. The style of the painting is loose and expressive, with visible brushstrokes and splashes of color, evocative of watercolor techniques. The overall impression is one of festivity and cultural celebration.
