[ ♪ ] Música do Dia - Grande Rio - 2005

Jorge Selarón (Limache, Chile, 1947 — Rio de Janeiro, 10 de janeiro de 2013)[1] foi um pintor e ceramista autodidata chileno radicado na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, no Brasil. Ele foi o autor de muitas obras que decoram os bairros cariocas da Lapa e de Santa Teresa.

Passou por mais de cinquenta países até decidir que viveria no Brasil. Sua maior e mais conhecida obra está na Rua Manoel Carneiro, no bairro de Santa Teresa: é a "Escadaria do Convento de Santa Teresa" (também conhecida como "Escadaria do Selarón"), que liga a Rua Joaquim Silva, no bairro da Lapa, à Ladeira de Santa Teresa, no bairro de Santa Teresa. A escadaria foi inicialmente decorada por Selarón em 1994, por ocasião da copa do mundo de futebol de 1994, quando ela teve seus 215 degraus e 125 metros decorados com mais de 2 000 azulejos diferentes, provenientes de mais de sessenta países. Desde então, os azulejos são permanentemente trocados, utilizando-se de azulejos que são remetidos ao artista por fãs do mundo inteiro. Isso dá um caráter orgânico e mutante à obra[

Em maio de 2005, a escadaria foi tombada pela prefeitura da cidade e Selarón recebeu o título de cidadão honorário do Rio de Janeiro.

[♪] Vídeo do Dia: : Documentário da Vida de Selaron

Escadaria Selarón is a set of world-famous steps in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. They are the work of Chilean-born artist Jorge Selarón who claimed it as "my tribute to the Brazilian people".[

In 1990, Selarón began renovating a dilapidated steps that ran along the front of his house. At first, neighbours mocked him for his choice of colours as he covered the steps in fragments of blue, green and yellow tiles – the colours of the Brazilian flag. It started out as a side-project to his main passion, painting but soon became an obsession

There are 250 steps measuring 125 metres long which are covered in over 2000 tiles collected from over 60 countries around the world.[1] No sooner than one section of the steps were 'finished', Selarón started work on another section, constantly changing it so that it is an ever evolving piece of art. Selarón considered the work as "never complete"[2] and claims that "This crazy and unique dream will only end on the day of my death".

International recognition

The work has featured in many famous magazines, newspapers, travel shows, documentaries and commercials. National Geographic Channel, American Express, Coca-cola, Kellogg's Corn Flakes, Time and Playboy are just some of the media that the steps have appeared in/on. It has also featured in numerous video clips such as Snoop Dogg's Beautiful and U2 also filming there. It is also considered an iconic tourist attraction of Rio de Janeiro with travellers from across the globe visiting it every day. In 2009 the steps were featured in Rio's emotive 2016 Olympic bid video clip "The Passion Unites Us".
