This is an intricate woodcut created in 1998. The piece is a tapestry of cultural motifs, bringing together a multitude of figurative elements that weave a narrative rich in tradition, storytelling, and collective identity. Figures, symbols, and patterns are carved with precision in the wood, before being printed onto paper to create a complex visual landscape. The interplay of negative and positive space, showcases Ciro Fernandes’ mastery of woodcut as a medium.
