Unique Painting Collage Signed Fine Art, "Girls Chatting in Rio"

A collage of images reveals the spirit of Rio de Janeiro as interpreted by D. Coelho. Rich in textures and colors, the visual montage depicts Rio's landmarks such as Sugar Loaf Hill, the winding pavement in Copacabana, and the Santa Teresa monorail over the Lapa Arches. And on the beach, two young women enjoy the Brazilian sun immersed in their conversation or papeando, in Portuguese slang. Coelho writes in high relief RIO DE JANEIRO followed by a list of famous sites such as Pedra Bonita, Floresta da Tijuca, praia Vermelha, Pão de Açucar, Corcovado, Lapa, São Conrado, Ipanema, etc.

Coelho combines painting with sublimation techniques to create this inspired composition. He includes ink jet prints for a thermal transfer of the desired impressions, as well as acrylic paints, and ceramic paste for texture.
