This particular work depicts a small part of the expansive concrete jungle that where nearly 80% of population from Caracas, Venezuela lived. As a result of the authoritarian and corrupt dictatorship that makes up the government of Venezuela for 20 years, the living conditions are declining rapidly in these slums, called “barrios”. The population is struggling with violent crime, government oppression, inflation, malnutrition and much more. There are many problems and conflicts in the country, and many hopes of improvement by all. The people continue to fight for survival. My heart has always been with the people, even though I have been out of the country for long time, I try to reflex in this piece the decadency barrios of Caracas with its interminable stairs of darkness but with the hope that someday the

colorful lines can reach the clear blue sky.
