The Identity series comes from an internal dialogue about the various identities we assume throughout the day - and our lives - according to the present situation.
Are our masks our true self, even if for that moment only?
It all started with my own identity crisis as I tried to pursue the traditional corporate career while my true self forced myself into art, which has always been present since I was a little boy.
Nevertheless, the wear and tear of this double life began to have its side effects, including on my health.
It was only after a terrible health problem that I began to remove the masks that had actually become a burden.
But even though I am somewhat free now to follow what I have always wanted to do, does this just mean that new identities must be assumed to achieve life's goals? 
I guess I will have to find out with every brush stroke.
This is a more serious and profound work compared to my other works, and it requires the public's own reflection to be better appreciated, since several observations can be inferred from it.

NOTE: Painting finished with gloss varnish.

Eric Carrazedo de Andrade (b. 1987, São Paulo, Brazil) is a visual artist whose paintings blend vibrant colors, symbolic imagery, and a sharp sense of irony. His ongoing body of work uses the banana as a recurring motif — a playful yet powerful symbol to question cultural identity, modern absurdities, and the contradictions of everyday life. Deeply influenced by Brazil’s social and political landscape, Carrazedo creates visually striking compositions that balance humor with critique. The banana, often seen as trivial or humorous, becomes in his work a mirror for deeper issues — from disconnection and censorship to spectacle and truth. Each piece invites reflection, often wrapped in bold color and unexpected symbolism — a conversation between beauty, chaos, and meaning.
