The Art
This is the largest mural Rimon has painted, and he named it “Pindorama”, which was how the original people in the country called the land before the Europeans arrived. It showcases earth, wind, water, and fire, the four elements the Indians worshipped, as well as the snake, the bird and the leopard, considered to be animals of power. Rimon says, “the bird represents the air; the leopard symbolizes the earth and its tail morphs into a snake, representing the underworld that we can’t see.” The female Indian figure had its raiment inspired by the Jurupixuna tribe, who lived in the Amazon region until the 18th Century. “This mural celebrates the diversity of the original Brazilian Indian tribes and our distinct flora and fauna.” He continues, “we can learn so much from those people on how to connect and live in harmony with nature.”
When reflecting on the work, Nazura says, “working with this paint was amazing because it works just like any other paint, but most importantly, the fact that the mural dialogues with the environmental aspect, it favors the development of more materials like that.” She continues, “I had never worked on a mural of this height and I loved it, especially because there was a lot of sentiment involved and it had been a long time since I felt this light and alive, with people getting together to create amazing work.”

Trees and counting.
