Hi friends!
Walking along the pretty coastal pedestrian promenade in Buzios, you suddenly come across a striking bronze statue that seems to come to life under the sunlight filtering through the leaves of a huge, old tree.
This statue, created by the skilled hands of Brazilian sculptor Hildebrando Lima, represents none other than Juscelino Kubitschek de Oliveira, former president of Brazil.
People passing by cannot help but feel drawn in. It is not just a statue, it becomes part of the community. Juscelino's friendly gesture and approachable demeanour as he sits comfortably, cross-legged, in a very "relaxed" pose, welcomes everyone. It is as if he is there, extending a hand of greeting to his compatriots and foreigners alike, thus displaying that warm hospitality that is so characteristic of the Brazilian nation.
This bronze statue shines with a warm golden colour when the light falls on it. You can see the texture of his shirt and the way it folds, how his pants wrinkle at the knee, and even the veins in his hands.
One of Hildebrando Lima's famous works is this seated bronze statue of the former president of Brazil. This is a fine example of realistic art, as well as artistic vision, which was able to capture Kubitschek's affable yet dignified demeanour. Through his great attention to detail, Lima brings to life the details of the former president's clothing and expression, which reinforces the overall presence of the statue.

I wish you a very nice day!

Hi Jorge, it is a long time since I am commenting on your posts, recently I am not very active with comments but wish to get better with that on days when I am off.
I noticed this post and really love the idea of Hildebrando to create a sculpture like that. I am sure nobody can pass by without a smile. Maybe because the sculpture of Juscelino has such a friendly smile and gesture with his hand greeting everyone there.
I can imagine that children would love to come closer and touch it or even climb on it :)
Also the relaxed posture with one bare foot is a great idea. Love it and thank you for your post :)
