Troopertina Carnaval de Barranquilla
Troopertina Carnaval de Barranquilla bursts with the infectious energy of La Batalla de Flores, one of the most iconic parades of the Carnaval de Barranquilla. This piece captures the thrill of dancing through the streets of Vía 40, where tradition and spectacle collide in a dazzling display of color, music, and movement.
At the heart of the composition, Troopertina moves freely, adorned with jewels and crowned as a queen of the celebration. She is flanked by two legendary carnival figures—the mischievous Marimonda, with its playful and rebellious spirit, and the regal Rey Congo, a symbol of African heritage and carnival majesty. Together, they embody the essence of Barranquilla’s joyous and unapologetic spirit.
The thick impasto strokes and vibrant palette create a textured, almost tangible atmosphere, mirroring the rhythmic beats of cumbia and mapalé that resonate through the festival. More than a painting, this work is an invitation to dance, to embrace tradition, and to celebrate the beautiful chaos that is Carnaval de Barranquilla.
