Brigada Ramona Parra



My favorite artwork today is made by the Chilean Squad named Brigada Ramona Parra or BRP. I do not know the name of these piece of art because all of these artists work is created in murals and were usually untitled.These piece of art along with the others ones made by BRP were done in famous places and they all consisted in iconographic symbols such as the fist, the star,the birds and the working class.
This art was created as an opposition to the dictatorship that Pinochet commanded in Chile.What i most like about this pieces of art is the simplistic view that the art contains but at the same time it presents a deep message of hope and fight.Another thing i enjoy about this painting is the representation of Victor Jara, a former musician known for being a martyr who opposed Pinochet dictatorship and when up being tortured and assassinate by Pinochet's army.
