This work was also shaped by real emotions. A group of children and their kindergarten teacher virtually met the artist. Exchanging emotions with them was fantastic and it inspired him from the beginning to create these colors.

During the 2021 school year, the world of this classroom was called Chipilandia, from those encounters the full name of the work emerged.

Chipilandia turned out to be a magical and joyful place where everything was possible, there they learned playing with great affection. Through art and their teacher´s help, the children assimilated nature contents and particularly about this species The opossums were nicknamed: Limbi, Lori and Pope Changuito.

In Chipilandia, the children, together with their teacher Larissa, besides researching, drawing and painting, created a story:

“Limbi, who is the smallest opossum, sees everything, she is the one who always pays attention to the details, the one who always shares the secrets that should not be kept.

Lori is the middle one and is always willing to listen. Together they combine their actions working as a team. The rule is that no one is left out and that everything becomes a form of coexistence…”

They say that these opossums came with all their love to save the world. Because the magic happened in Chipilandia….”
