Respuesta orientativa (modelo):
When I see these paintings, I feel a mixture of sadness and anger. The dark colors and the distorted faces of the people make me feel the pain and injustice they are living. I also feel compassion for the suffering shown in the figures, but at the same time the strong contrast of tones gives me hope that things can change. Guayasamin's brushstrokes are very expressive, so the emotion is very intense.
