Conception - Something conceived in the mind or believed by a group of people; a concept, thought, or belief: (ex. the medieval conception of justice.) The beginning or formation of an idea or plan: (ex. She was involved in the project from its conception.)
Roig - is a word stemming from Catalan word meaning red: to become very angry, to become enraged.
This pair was painted in 2014 after the violence broke out in Venzuela. Conception represents the initial intent. Demonstrators were demanding better security, an end to goods shortages and protected freedom of speech. Roig represents the level of the emotion and helpless rage after the peaceful protests faced unexpected violence leading to great loss and death.
