In Latin America there is a humanitarian crisis on which the spotlights of the world are not turned on: the one that pushes Venezuelans to leave their country en masse. <\/p>\n
They are fleeing not because of persecution or war, but because of record high inflation (official data speak of an annual rate of 157%), food shortages, public insecurity, lack of health care, violation of human rights<\/p>\n
In terms of size, Venezuela is the second wave of migration in the world after that of Syria: 7.13 million citizens seek refuge in other countries <\/p>\n
The warao, the \u201cpeople of the canoes\u201d, of the Orinoco delta, have joined this exodus: they flee to Brazil where they face integration difficulties because they do not know the language or the culture. <\/p>\n
I dedicated this first painting of a new series to the warao children<\/p>\n
