Digital painting, Based in a phrase heard in an old Colombian movie called "la vendedora de rosas" where the issue of the homeless, the outcast, and specially the kids living in the streets is shown. This movie has one of the most famous sentences in colombian imaginary "pa que zapatos si no hay casa?" this quote resumes all the situation for those kids... for these people, why would you want a pair of shoes if there is no home, no house, no family, Why to fight for if there aren´t illusions? Why, if a home is where illusions flourish would you want to keep them alive when you have none? Why to start something (the shoes are meant for walking) if there´s anything to keep and anywhere to make it grow?
