Her father drew and painted. He also created murals and recorded family life with a home camera. He was interested in the intersection of justice and beauty, in everything that enchants the passing of the day and in every event that politically shapes an era. He painted horror, mercy, and imagination; he drew diverse human figures with his brush, sometimes associating them with situations that provoke indignation at a world order that favors the few. This is how Melina Terribili portrays her father, Carlos Terribili, a prominent Buenos Aires artist whose murals, such as "The Grey Angel," epitomize his technique and ideology. Terribili uses diverse materials: those she filmed recently in excellent resolution and in the 1990s on video with lower resolution, as well as fragments filmed on Super-8 and video by her parents.
