The art series "CAVAE SCUTUM" , Hollow Shields from Latin, explores the hollow emotional and psychological defenses that modern society has created seeking isolation. . CAVAE SCUTUM X was select to be exhibited at XIV Florence Biennial in 2023 and Osten Biennial 2024: In this thought-provoking image, we witness a scene where overweight characters, equipped with umbrellas, pour milk from their breasts onto a dining table. The milk cascades down, eventually pooling on the floor. Meanwhile, a frail figure, also sporting an umbrella on their head, gazes upon this spectacle, waiting for crumbs. This composition serves as a poignant commentary on the dual themes of indifference among those who waste their abundance and the paralyzing inertia caused by hunger. The overweight's umbrellas,ironically, shield them from the repercussions of their actions. This symbolism exposes a profound indifference towards the wastefulness of resources, as if they are oblivious to the consequences of their actions. The act of pouring milk, a valuable sustenance, onto a table and letting it go to waste embodies a disregard for the needs of others. In stark contrast to the characters who squander, we encounter a thin and frail individual. Their umbrella, serving as a makeshift shelter, exhibits their vulnerability and reliance on external support. They stand apart, silently observing the scene before them. The longing in their eyes reveals the weight of their hunger and the desperation for sustenance. Their posture and the presence of an umbrella suggest a feeling of resignation, as if they have become accustomed to waiting for meager offerings, symbolized by the crumbs. The image serves as a critique of the indifference and apathy that can manifest in a society where resources are unequally distributed. The stark contrast between the indulgence of the overweight characters and the helplessness of the thin figure underscores the societal implications of such disparities.

Brazil
René was born in the 60's, in São Paulo, Brazil, during the Military Dictatorship. Art bloomed in his childhood, in the 70's and his formal artistic preparation and training took place during the adolescence, between 13 and 17 years of age, when he studied art history, artistic movements and various painting techniques. For years, René developed his singular style, an amalgamation of different influences passing through enshrined names from comic books, pop art, the great classics and modern masters, contemporary art, and everything else his unquiet mind can absorb. Each artwork has a dense narrative full of details. It is like little stories that are relevant for the big picture. Sometimes, the protagonist is just a spectator, who placidly observes the scene depicted or protagonist is the viewer himself, establishing a dialogue between the collective and the individual simultaneously. Aside his career as an artist, René was an executive in the Brazilian publishing market, being a publisher and editor of magazines and books Rene's art is innovative and shares his feelings about human existence, using allegories to represent people's daily lives. His vision as an artist is to suppress his own ego from his artwork in order to create a mirror where the viewer can see himself.
