If we focus on nothing but cruelty, we can almost say how abominable the very idea is of the representation of this piece of art, but if we go to the message it offers and the story it tells, it is a very powerful one that totally changes the imprint it leaves.
I already shared a great illustration not long ago in which, if we focused on the detail of the reflection of a cow's eye, we could find the criticism of that cruelty with which many animals are treated today. The same can be obtained from this illustration in which bestiality is criticized to kill a sparrow in this cruel way.
A constant dispute to this day in which own evolution clashes with those traditions and culture in which we became champions and owners of every animal that existed. We can find more messages such as the passage of the colorful and happy world of that sparrow, since those colored chalks show the rainbow of life with all its tones.
A work that makes you think and that, although at first glance it causes rejection and sadness and then leads us to that longing to want to fly Like the story of Icarus, it confronts us with a reality that is not far removed from what we ourselves experience. Art in its essence and not a pretty one in which you can contemplate a beautiful sunset, but one that claims the space of rejection and of some of the truths with which we deal today.
Before leaving, a point in which he emphasizes and is like life will always try to pull forward even though she's tied up and can't hardly move. I leave you with Mark's Instagram, the painter who created this work in the Trampantojo style, a pictorial technique that tries to deceive the eye by playing with the architectural environment, perspective, shading and other optical effects.
