The 9th. work in the series is about loneliness in power, however, despite being lonely and naked under the cold moonlight at deep night, the character turns his back on the observer, indifferent to his presence, reinforcing that the idea of total mockery of the world around him

  • The Serie Cavae Scutun, from Latin, "hollow shield'", is composed of 13 works, this is series came up from a critical and acidic observation of society's numbness in the face of the atrocities that many human beings are suffering. The solution is in the hands of society, which prefers to hide behind false shields, here allegorically represented by small umbrellas over their heads.
     
  • CAVAE SCUTUM seeks a perspective dialogue with the history of art, visiting works and artists from different artistic movements.
