About the Artwork

This is a traditional church in Bahia. In African cultures the practice is to wash the stairs to make them pure. I painted this scene because I have seen this tradition and because my mother is from Bahia.

I have one older brother and sister, and two younger sisters. I like to go out and see beautiful boys, sports, cinema and to sleep till noon. I do not like vegetables or to clean the house. I am undecided as to what I hope to do in my life.

I am the viewer. Oil on canvas.
