This painting depicts a family gathered in front of their rustic home in the sertão, the semi-arid region of northeastern Brazil. Donkeys, children, and parents share the shade of a simple structure made of wood and clay, reflecting the resilience and togetherness of life in this challenging environment. Inspired by memories of rural Brazil, the work conveys both the hardships and the enduring bonds of community, offering a glimpse into the dignity and warmth of everyday life in the sertão.

This piece is a pictorial interpretation of a photograph originally found online, which was digitally modified before serving as the basis for the painting.
