Setting out on foot in the cool morning, a man, women and two children head for the fields. They work day after day cultivating the fertile earth. The children ride a draft horse and two dogs guard them along the way as they carry their tools, a jar of water and a basket with their lunch. Artist J. Borges finds inspiration for this colorful woodcut print in the rural areas of his native northeastern Brazil.
Xylograph (woodcut) print on paper, titled "Trabalhadores Rurais" in Portuguese.

"Vibrant print"
As an aspiring artist I dont often purchase other peoples art,I dont usually have the budget however when I saw this print by J. Borges I made an exception. His work is dynamic and I feel very strongly in supporting artists from other parts of the world. I feel it is an investment in the artist and an investment that will give me smiles every time I see it on my studio wall. Hopefully it will also possibly appreciate in value as well,though my main reason for purchasing this was bc I really enjoy the design. I love that when I am able to save up, I can come here to Novica and find lovely things that give back to the wonderful crafts people who work so hard to earn their living. We get something wonderful knowing that the people who made these objects are engaged in fair trade. Win win : )
