Mixed MediaDescription
PIDEmónio presents itself as a work of symbolic and emotional character, delving into the depths of the shadows of a repressive regime, focusing especially on the actions of the PIDE (International and State Defense Police) and its devastating effects on people's lives. The composition is remarkable for its ability to convey a psychological dilemma through the exaggerated expressions of the characters, whose faces emit feelings of fear, anguish, sadness, and, in some cases, despair. These elements are not merely facial representations, but rather an emotional language that reflects the oppression and trauma experienced under the weight of surveillance and authoritarianism. The expressions of the figures seem to amplify the tension and suffering, but at the same time, they are covered by a palette of vibrant and vivid colors that almost paradoxically contrast with the scenes of oppression.
