In this serigraphy composition, Óscar Alves brings to life his dreamed atelier through a dialogue with the famous painting "Las Meninãs" by Spanish painter Velásquez. This quote refines and geometrizes the spaces, cutting out the silhouettes and shadows in a theatrical manner that turns the characters into somewhat ghostly mannequins.
