Collection of the Artist

Note:
From our fifteenth floor apartment in Rua Gonçalves Dias, Savassi, we could observe the construction workers toiling on a new high rise apartment building across the road.

Their life was not easy. There was a basic minimum of tools. Cement was delivered in a wheel barrow to the upper levels via a cage lift.

Painted from movement studies that were drawn at our living room window.
