This Brazilian Artist Proves You Don’t Need Any Words To Tell A Compelling Story https://ift.tt/3m8SzEI

Ademar Vieira is a Brazilian artist, journalist and screenwriter who proves that you don’t need a lot of words to tell a compelling story. In fact, the artist doesn’t need any words, and his illustrations are more that enough to evoke emotion.

In his comics, Ademar deals with topics like social injustice, loneliness, parenting, and more – all without using a single word. Just yesterday we featured Ademar’s comic about adopting a dog, and today we have even more of his comics that we’re sure you’re going to love. Check them out in the gallery below!

Mother

“This comic strip is called “Mother” because it talks about the mother of all living beings: Nature. Today, in my country, Brazil, there is daily news of arson in the Amazon and the Pantanal, our two largest reserves of biodiversity. It affects us, but not to the same degree that it affects animals. Perhaps, through art, we can put ourselves in their shoes and try to see things from another perspective…”

The Theater

“Sometimes small actions we take can change someone’s life. Have you ever stopped to think about what kind of change your attitudes are causing in the world? Note: In Brazil, it is very common for children to help their families financially by selling treats on the streets, this boy is an example of this.”

The River

“For many indigenous cultures, a river is not a natural resource, but a living entity with a personality. In some cases, he is considered a close relative, so he is treated with respect. The indigenous’s connection with nature is so strong that he cannot exist without it. That is why this comic strip is called “The River” and at the same time it tells the story of a river, it also tells the story of several indigenous peoples in Latin America.”
