Original Acrylic Painting of Bahia Women, "Baianas in Evolution III: Blue"

Skirts swirling to the rhythm of the music, a group of Baianas (women of Bahia) dance in an orixás ritual, which focuses on the worship of ancestral spirits. The ladies wear the traditional garb of the area, which consists of all-white dresses and head wraps as well as a substantial amount of colorful jewelry. Brazilian artist Dino Castelli renders the original painting in acrylics on canvas with a cool palette of blue shades.
