⭐️ I am the Astra ⭐️: Coroa

Exclusive Drop for the collectors of the artwork Corona. . . . The painting Coroa is inspired by The Imperial Crown of Brazil, also known as the Crown of Dom Pedro II who was the last emperor of Brazil.

This satyrical work makes a relationship between the deadly dissemination of Coronavirus in the world and the equally mortal spread of the British Empire across many nations. Chokingly, until the year of 1922 the Britain ruled a fifth of the world’s population and a quarter of the world’s total land area.

The word Corona means ‘crown’ in Latin.

I created the sketch for this piece in February 2020 when I was stuck in Brazil during the pandemic after having gone home to see my parents for Christmas. Interestingly during the same period, I started creating the collection Animal Farm, that would later on be born as a NFT collection called Animal Farm OYX.

Animal Farm OYX is a body of work created to support the development of the Surui Paiter and Cintas-Largas people as well as their #CriptomoedaOYX project. 100% of the primary sales of this project are going to them. . . . Coroa 2021 mixed media on canvas
