For centuries, artistic productions have reflected on the\nhistories, cultures and experiences of peoples, ethnicities, tribes, thus raising social issues\nbroad spectrum.\nIn the Angolan context, the Civil War (1975 - 2002) became a topic of\ninspiration of a generation of artists concerned with investigating, portraying and elucidating,\nnot only the reasons for the conflict, but the social, economic,\npsychological problems and the paths taken by the victims to overcome the traumas left\nby the conflict. It is in this context that a significant portion of my works is inserted.\nAs metaphors for life, the characters in the paintings represent the reality of a\nmarginalized and marked by war and social group; despite this, they seek ways of\nsurvive in a deeply unequal society. In this sense, the screens look at\ncountry's history based on the perspective of those who are made invisible.\nThe idea of \u200b\u200ba constant search to overcome the traumas of the Civil War and the\neveryday challenges does not depend on the age or sex of the victims, considering that these\nissues affect all ages and genders, especially those who have experienced the\nconflict period.","space":"A normal wall\nBoth works have a dimension of 6 x 900 inches","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":null,"audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"fileCount":2,"names":"Paulo","surname":"Chavonga","email":"paulochavonga1997@gmail.com","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"N2143899","address":"Rua dos Revolucion\u00e1rios","city":"Diadema","nacionality":"Angolan","country_id":"34","birthdate":"1997-09-14T03:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1997-09-14T03:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+5511949779816","web":"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/paulochavonga\/"}
