Golden Heart (2017-05-15) by GLEOGaleria de Arte Urbana

GLEO, Golden Heart.

The piece created for the Festival is based on the legend of El Dorado and the artist's personal life story. The child represented is Ana, Gleo's cousin, who grew up with her in a very poor region of Colombia, where large families could not raise all their children, using the help of putative families who guaranteed education, food and basic necessities for the children.

At the age of six, Ana was very fond of wearing Gleo's clothes, which infuriated her, until one day they had a big argument. Ana was upset to see Gleo hurt, so she folded, cleaned and returned all the clothes to Gleo, returning to put on her old dirty clothes, claiming that if the price for Gleo's love was never to use her things, she would never touch them again . This marked Gleo a lot, and that is why she brought this artwork to the Festival - a reference to what really matters - love and our soul.
