According to the artist, invitations to perform at private events have increased, a sign of recognition and openness to new opportunities. However, he noted that it is still difficult to charge the desired fees, which shows that there is a long way to go for the true appreciation of this art form.
Furthermore, Jovem Puro emphasized that the lack of appreciation is not limited to human statues, but is reflected in the national artistic landscape as a whole, where the challenges remain numerous.
Despite the difficulties, the constant presence of these artists on the city streets demonstrates the resilience and determination of those who believe in the power of art as a form of expression and survival.
