Esta pintura la hice originalmente en el 2016, cita al Aquelarre de Francisco de Goya, decidĆ pintarla de nuevo recordando un poco las palabras de Odd Nerdrum; "una pintura nunca estĆ” finalizada...".
Durante el desalojo del Bronx se diĆ³ a conocer una cantidad de anĆ©cdotas dantescas del lugar, llevĆ”ndome a pensar que en los lugares olvidados por dios, el demonio debe ser tu amigo, ademĆ”s de darme una catarsis de cĆ³mo la realidad colombiana estĆ” tan compenetrada con lo grotesco y la locura, a raĆz de una historia poscolonialista llena de violencia, crimen y desigualdad.
Sin mĆ”s remedio, mediante la pintura puedo encontrar un refugio, al menos para que sea un modo de soportar el agobiante contexto de este paĆs.

During the eviction of the Bronx (bogota, colombia), a number of dantesque anecdotes of the place where revealed, leading me to think that in the places forgotten by God, the devil must be your friend, in addition to giving me a catharsis of how the colombian reality is so permeated with grotesque and madness, following postcolonialist history full of violence, crime and inequality.
Without any other remedy, through painting I can find me a refuge, at least to be a way of endure the overwhelming context of this country.
