This Ivonaldo paintings was painted in 1998 and is reproduced in his book, "Ivonaldo, Naive Painters Brazil" at the page 37. The banana blossoms, distinctly depicted with intricate details, add a touch of exoticism and vibrancy to the scene. Each farmer carries a birdcage filled with vividly colored birds, symbolizing the harmonious relationship between the land's bounty and the livelihood of its caretakers. Their striking plumage introduces an array of bright colors that further enliven the canvas. A notable unique aspect of this work is its use of stylization to blend realism with a gentle, almost whimsical narrative quality. The exaggerated features of the characters and the meticulous attention to the flora highlight the artist's ability to balance detail with artistic interpretation. Overall, the painting is a stunning celebration of agricultural heritage, filled with vivid life and cultural pride. It deftly captures the essence of rural toil, community, and the natural beauty of the tropical landscape, all while engaging the viewer with its lively and heartwarming depiction.

Ivonaldo Veloso de Melo was born in Caruaru, a town in the state of Pernanbouc in 1943.
He began his artistic career in 1966, having his first solo exhibition at the KLM Gallery, São Paulo. He participated in the International Art Fair in Dusseldorf, Germany, the International Contemporary Art Fair, in Paris, and the World Naïve Painting Fair, in Levallois, France, throughout the year of 1973.
The following year, he participated in the 3rd Triennial of Bratislava in Slovakia. The artist then resides in Europe for five years, exhibiting individually in cities such as Amsterdam, Paris, Cologne, Brussels, Florence, London and Trebnje. From 1980, he created eight individual exhibitions at the Jacques Ardies Gallery, and a last one, in 2006, organized in Zurich, Switzerland, in an improvised space. He won the second Prize of Excellence at the International Naïve Art Competition organized by the Galerie Jeannine Blais, Canada.
In 2003, he was elected by the Swiss public as the best artist, at the Swiss Prize for Modern Primitive Painting organized by the Galerie Pro Art Kasper, in Morges, Switzerland. He has works in major national museums, such as the MAC, the Masp, the MAM (São Paulo), MIAN (Rio de Janeiro) and, in France, at the MAN, at Béraut Condom, at the Rousseau Museum, at Laval, at the Anatole Jakovsky Museum, in Nice, and also in Holande, at the Stadof Museum voor Naive in Outsider Kunst.
