Good evening , #Monomad friends
Here is my entry for the #monomad contest by @brumest and @monochromes.

The mastery of taking materials that are sometimes not even very noble and shaping them to convey an idea is something brilliant. I have always liked sculptures. And when this art is combined with the possibility of viewing it outdoors, it ends up being a win-win situation.
This piece, created by João Castro Silva, is located outside the Torres Vedras Environmental Education Center.
This piece, inspired by the Colossus of Rhodes, conveys enormous strength. Its shadow, as imposing as its structure, stands front and center, unashamedly displaying its genitals.
The power of the piece lies not only in its very nature (iron), but also in the form it takes and the attitude it conveys to those who pass by.

A mestria de colocar as mãos em materiais que por vezes nem são muito nobres, e conseguir dar-lhes forma, para que transmitam uma ideia, é algo de genial. Sempre gostei de esculturas. E quando a essa arte, se junta a possibilidade de a vislumbrar no exterior, acaba por ser uma situação de duplo ganho.
Esta peça, elaborada João Castro Silva, encontra-se no exterior do Centro de Educação Ambiental de Torres Vedras.
Esta peça inspirada no Colosso de Rodes, transmite uma força enorme. A sua sombra, imponente, tal como a sua estrutura, apresenta-se de frente e sem pudor exibe os órgãos genitais.
Toda a força da peça reside não só na sua própria natureza (ferro), mas também na forma que ele assume, e na postura que transmite a quem por ali passa.
I hope you enjoyed my post here in the B&W community
