Creator of scandalous C. Ronaldo bust: "I was ready for criticism"

At Madeira airport, the bust of Cristiano Ronaldo was unveiled and immediately received worldwide attention.

However, the reviews were not the best.

The artwork caught the eye of internet users and received various epithets.

The author of the bust, Emanuel Santos, defended his idea:

"It is impossible to please both the Greeks and the Trojans. Even Jesus is not liked by everyone.

It is a matter of taste and everything is not so simple.

I analyzed the works of famous creators and drew ideas from them. The most important thing is the attention that the artwork receives. I was prepared for that.

For the creation of the bust, I used images created on the internet - I looked at them and started working."
