The man is shown with no shirt on, eyes looking upward, with his hands raised high above his head in a praise appearance. The background is made up of black on either side of the man, with golden and yellow "light" behind the man, almost such as a light shining down above him. A lighter shade of gold is seen on the left of man, while darker on the right. Presented in a white mat. Unsigned. From a collection of Ricardo de Silva's work and memorabilia. Image with mat: 30" H x 38" W Image: 20"H x 28" W Sheet size: 30"H x 22"W. DeSilva was born in Brazil and grew up in Los Angeles. He was a gallery owner, first in Santa Barbara in the 1960's and 70's, then in San Jose in the 1980's.
