Following the impact of the photographic book Angels Without Wings, which reveals the raw and intense reality of children in Africa, comes the collection of exclusive photographic paintings that transforms that same reality into Art. This collection embodies photography through painting, using grey and black brushstrokes that, alongside the power of the image, intensify the emotional impact of the narrative.

​

The images, rich in symbolism, reflect the struggle and resilience of these children. The grey, predominant in the brushstrokes and the fragmentation of the figures, carries the memory of a reality marked by suffering and loss, while also revealing the weight of exploitation and adversity. The absence of vibrant colours does not erase the light that still reflects within the scenes; on the contrary, the focused light in the images keeps hope alive, like a lighthouse shining at the end of a tunnel, illuminating the path, no matter how narrow.

​

The fragmentation of the images is a key element of this collection. Displaced gazes, mouths overlapping other features, reflect the deconstruction of these children's childhoods, who, even shattered by cruelty, continue to resist. The grey brushstrokes not only deconstruct the images but also represent the harshness of the conditions these children live under, in a world that forces them to grow up too soon.

​

Within this harsh visual universe, butterflies also appear in some paintings — powerful symbols of transformation. Their delicate presence contrasts with the severity of the scene, evoking the possibility of rebirth, of emerging from the cocoon, of growth and overcoming. The butterflies, silent yet expressive, add another layer of meaning: even amidst chaos, there is room for metamorphosis, for beauty born from pain, for hope taking flight.

​

Each visible shard conveys the collapse of lives broken by violence and exploitation, but also, at the same time, the ability of these children to rise and resist, reinforcing their unbreakable strength. The collection is not only a visual portrayal but a direct call to action. It invites the viewer to look beyond the surface, to perceive not only the pain, but also the beauty and strength that coexist in these children’s lives — and to reflect on what can be done to change this reality.

​

With Angels Without Wings, the message remains clear: the suffering of childhood should not be the fate of a few, but the concern of all. This collection aims not only to raise awareness but to inspire action. The message is a call to society to not only reflect, but to act, to be part of the change, ensuring that all children have the right to a full and dignified childhood.
