Oil on canvas 120 x 150 x 3.5 cm 2026 In the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, small neighbourhood pitches become the heart of the community; places where people gather, watch, and belong. Kids play barefoot, calling themselves Pel? or Ronaldinho, mimicking every move. These tight spaces transform into imagined stadiums, where football is both play and performance, binding the community together while allowing young players to step into the identities and dreams of their idols.
