Description

During the pandemic, our country exploded in revolt to protest the many years of abuse by the right wing governments since the Matarife (the Butcher, The Evil Dwarf, no need to say his name) became president back in 2002. Millions took to the streets and the police responded as usual, with brutality and no consideration for the innocent protesters. I painted this piece with his nazi face, blood pouring from his mouth and a plea for the violence to stop. I gave this painting to a young friend of mine, Cristian Uribe, an activist, a social worker and a person that I admire a lot. I have known him since he was 10 when he came to the city with his mother and siblings in 2006, displaced by the paramilitary after they killed and dismembered his father, to take their land in rural Colombia, where that happened, not far from Medellín. Long story. Evil Dwarf was president when that happened. ☹️
