Saint George

O Meu Lugar is a personal project that tries to exalt a little bit what I was never able to hide, my love for the small moments of joy of being Brazilian. Throughout the month I will share some of the paintings and tell a little bit of the story behind them. For those who are interested in seeing it in its entirety, and want to feel a little bit of warmth in their hearts, and a tear of longing.
Feel free, the link is in the description of my profile.
Paint:
Saint George
"I will go dressed and armed with the weapons of Saint George so that my enemies, having feet will not reach me; having hands will not trap me; having eyes will not see me, neither with thought can they cause me harm.
Firearms will not reach my body; knives and swords will break without touching my body, ropes and chains will break without tying my body."
I am not a religious person, far from it, but when I heard the song Ogum by Zeca Pagodinho and at the end of the song there is a prayer for Saint George, touched me, in a way that I never imagined. This painting was not planned, but as soon as I heard this song, these verses, I felt that it needed to part of it, because has such a powerful message for us. Even more so in times of health calamity that we are living. I saw in this prayer the reflection of my desire for everyone here and also for the world. May every Brazilian, all families, mothers, fathers, children, grandparents are armed with the clothes of Saint George, and any harm comes to us.
