THE DIVERSITY OF THE METROPOLIS
The series of illustrations "SP Types" brings in a subtle but precise way, characters that we cross every day in the streets of the city of São Paulo, either in the center or in its most popular neighborhoods. Anonymous figures, some eccentric, others not so much, that coexist in a reality full of social divergences, but that make up the chaotic São Paulo scene in its nuances between the beautiful and the charming, the ugly and the dirty.
Each illustrated character represents streets, neighborhoods or well-known regions of the city, they are caricatured portraits that bring the humanity of the people who are part of our daily lives, full of stories, and that sometimes we don't even notice, absorbed by our routine.
