Behind The Artworks: BARROS - More Humanity Please (2018)

More Humanity Please is a powerful statement about hope and awareness, and I thought we had a challenge here. We discussed about the possible tie-ins with the old Barros albums in some level and also about bringing something totally fresh to the table. The title also means to bring more life to something, that's why we have the roses growing over those dead scenes. I wanted to make something lifeless at first sight but with a small twist. I went full on into this classic oriented visual with also a few nods to some sculptures from the North of Portugal. There is also the Gemini reference (Paulo Barros zodiac sign) with lots of dual shapes plus his yet fully unveiled new Barros symbol.
