I started painting this piece when protests got intense in Venezuela in 2017. I used and implemented the method of following the events, determining the most powerful images and actors, reinterpreting them in a painted, artsy and noble way. I would work them as fast as I could in order to publish them the closest to the real time of "happening" and subsequent virality it had in social networks. People started organically using my everyday's reinterpretations in painting of the key moments and images which could come in as the events unfolded every two or so days. I would paint it as if to fix it as history was fixed in those medieval works displaying battles, I painted it with the same aim Picasso had when he painted Guernica, I painted because i felt compelled to give honor to all those modern day anonymous heroes.

In my eyes those images where transcendental, humanly inspiring and I felt complete empathy and dedication to the cause. This is history of Venezuela, unfolding the events and images that became utterly viral and even set trends for other artists that were inspired by my method and idea. This piece created Venezuelan modern identity. This piece was used by many media and even political aggregations such as the united opposition front of Venezuela in official communications. Most importantly, this piece is understood like a sort of staff and a symbol
