Soprano

"Soprano" by Apollo Torres made in Porto Alegre for the Festival Arte Salva at the end of 2022.

"This mural is a celebration of the musicians and musicians of today, my contemporaries, who continue in this arduous task of keeping alive a culture, trying at the same time to open new paths and keep open those created by those who came before us. I have always felt that my work, as a painter, is primarily a work of record. That reacts to what has happened, chews, digests, and creates a record that will endure. (Live) music, on the other hand, is an event that unfolds before our eyes and ears, and for me has almost a leading character. An opener. Thinking of keeping ways open, I made this simple tribute to the record Geraes, by Milton Nascimento that changed my life forever. I will never forget the feeling of hearing "Promessas Do Sol" for the first time, on a late afternoon almost 20 years ago. Milton is a gigantic beacon whose light will never go out." - Apollo Torres
