About the Original Piece

25 cm x 25 cm (with two punch holes on the left)

Rio de Janeiro, Posto 9. A hot afternoon with sand sticking to sunscreen and speedos everywhere. Beautiful (mostly gay) men gathered under the sun, trading looks, sipping caipirinhas. There’s tension in the air, a quiet sense of intimacy. Igor and his friends are enjoying the heat. Drawn fast, letting the heat, glances, and closeness settle into the page.

About the Paper

The artwork is drawn on laid pearlescent paper (vergê madrepérola), characterized by a subtle linear texture and a soft, off-white tone with a slight pearlescent sheen. The surface is uncoated and lightly textured, allowing ink to sit clearly on the paper while maintaining crisp lines. The paper has a firm, stable feel and is suitable for pen and ink work.

Shipping

International shipping is free, included in the price. 

The original pieces are very close to my heart. They live with me in Recife, Brazil, and each one is handled personally from start to finish. I carefully package every artwork myself to make sure it’s protected and travels safely.

Please allow up to one week for dispatch. Once the piece is on its way, I’ll send you a tracking link so you can follow the journey to your door.

Delivery times may vary depending on your location (Brazil is faster), but I always aim to select a shipping option that delivers within approximately 14 days whenever possible. Please note that delivery timeframes cannot be guaranteed.

In the very unlikely event that customs duties or import taxes are applied by your country, these are the responsibility of the buyer.

Thank you! Obrigado!
