Arjan Martins' painting goes beyond traces of the past and becomes an opportunity for a cyclical time, the dialogue with the anachronism of time is latent and the pictorial space reveals a political claim. The right to life for black bodies is constantly presented on Martins' canvases, the work in question therefore presents a woman without a face (always present in the artist’s work, appreciating the ideia of a people instead of the individual), the strength and beauty erased in an image of absence, a kind of communication of lack.
