The air is full of the smell of gingerbread and pines. It is Christmas time. The angels and Papa Noel or Santa are everywhere.
I want to show you a bunch of angels. With a twist: Angels from a Cemetery. Of course I am thinking in Tim Burton and his wonderful movie A nightmare before Christmas.
I was visiting the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina, for my birthday in October. I was collecting with my camera everything that caught my eyes. And I went to La Recoleta Cemetery, a beautiful turistic attraction of the city. Eva Perón’s grave is there.
You are gonna see angels of all classes and sizes and at the end of the exhibition, I painted some of them by my self, having in mind the ancient painted photographs and the amazing work of Jan Saudek. The last two are from the Cemetery of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Enjoy it
