A claw opened a wound in the national conscience in 1973-74.This year (2024) commemorates the 50th anniversary of the cruel and inhuman events that occurred in the National Stadium of Chile, I created this painting to help ensure that this barbarism is not forgotten. In 2024, I saw a documentary commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of a series of events that should never be forgotten. In the 1970s, there were several dictatorships in several South American countries, which committed various crimes, torture, kidnappings, and other atrocities against thousands of people. I made this painting to remind everyone of this. As you can see, the painting is broken, just like the recent history of the countries of the Southern Cone of America.

This painting is striking for several reasons: 1. The gray atmosphere gives us the context of the sadness and gravity of the event. 2. The painting is interrupted by a bloody stripe, as is the recent history of many countries. 3. In the center, only the maximum contrast is observed, black and white, to imply that in that space only life or death fits. 4. In the lower left corner of the image, "Genesis 4:9-16" is written in blood, corresponding to the biblical chapter where God asks Cain, "Where is your brother Abel?" This same question remains relevant today. 5. On the far right, there is a tree without leaves or fruit, indicating that this is a land where life cannot grow. 6. The stadium's lights are gray, symbolizing that the truth has been distorted. 7. The stadium itself expresses, in black and white, its sadness and pain on one of its walls, which has taken the shape of a face. 8. The soldiers surround the stadium anonymously, suggesting that blame for the atrocities fades into anonymity. 9. The crowd protests in the street in front of the stadium, but one figure is absent, the only one showing us the sign with the photos of "disappeared detainees." 10. This painting is my contribution to ensuring that these events, which occurred 50 years ago, are not forgotten.
