ABOUT THE PAINTING: Better Tomorrows’ vibrant hues evoke a profound sense of hope in an abstract piece which at times calls for colourful skies, at times resembles a worn-out diary, conveying the feeling of optimism and possibility. ABOUT THE CAUSE: ’Better Tomorrows’ is a piece I dedicate to my state, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, currently in state of calamity. Imagine that the area flooded was equivalent to the size of Italy! Many major cities had muddy water torrents of more than 5m (slide to see). More than 600.000 people have been displaced, and 90% of our industry has been affected. So this piece, Better Tomorrows, is on sale and 100% of the funds after fees and delivery will be donated to the local community
