• Created in celebration of the 2026 World Cup, this painting is rooted in memories of growing up in Brazil, where soccer is far more than a sport—it is part of everyday life. It is played barefoot on dusty streets, in vacant lots, on beaches, and in neighborhood fields, often with nothing more than a ball and a group of eager children. When a real ball wasn’t available, imagination took over, and one was fashioned from paper, rags, or old stockings. In Brazil, soccer belongs to everyone. It crosses social classes, generations, and backgrounds, bringing people together through a shared passion. For ninety minutes—or an afternoon spent on the street—the game has the power to unite communities, spark friendships, and make differences disappear.
