The sprawling metropolis of São Paulo seems to have no end. I found this view just up the street of Cilei's parents house, the entire horizon was filled with condo skyscrapers while the middle and foreground were a jigsaw puzzle of ramshackle houses. The blue jugs on top of the houses are water reservoirs. To paint this scene it was more a matter of capturing the patterns and colours rather than the detail per say. Adding a few cars provided the scale and depth. Not too many artists get the chance to paint in such a location.
