Non stop voyage

"Non stop voyage"

100x200cm
Mixed on canvas

”Non stop voyage" is the title of this painting, but it isn`t  a journey without interruptions, alias in this I represent many pauses, many turning times, many crossroads, the stops are not fixed,  they are fluid, flexible and busy.

In my paintings I represent and tell personal stories, these stories can be only a moment, do not need to have physical movement, displacement of the body, we can be quiet and in a second everything happens inside us.

One of the voyage’s that I represent in this painting  is the life of A`Si, a Macanese boy born into a large family who lived in a reed boat, A'Si was given to the Captain of a Portuguese ship, a better future was the what  the boy's parents wanted.

A`Si  came to Portugal, he went to live with the family of the commander. As an adult  he lived in Serra da Estrela married anf had six children.

A great trip, a life trip, a full life his granddaughter told me that her  grandfather had been an example of courage in her life .

A`Si's story is in the painting now also part of my imagination. I am sure that he will be part of other pictures that I shall paint. .I like life  stories , I like courage, resilience and creative people.

I also like literary characters, cinematic images, I like what it seems but i is not ......

"Let it go" Oil on canvas  110cm x105cm “It can be regarded as a kind of symphony, or in another way as a kind of opera— or even a horse opera. It is hot music, a poem, a song, a tragedy, a comedy, a farce, and so forth. Itis superficial, profound, entertaining and boring according to taste. It is a prophecy, a political warning, a cryptogram, a preposterous movie, and a writing on the wall. It can even be regarded as a sort of machine: it works too, believe me, as I have found out. In case you think I mean it to be everything but a novel I better say that after all it is intended to be and, though I say so myself, a deeply serious one too. But it is also I claim a work of art somewhat different from the one you suspected it was, and more successful too, even though according to its own lights.” Malcom Lowry, on his novel" Under the Volcano" A book (two to be precise, but we decided to use one as the main strength of our look), a canvas.

Anne Catherick writes the message 150cm x150 cm  Drawing nearly painting on canvas Photo credits : Hugo Almeida The novel begins with    Walter    an art teacher who finds a job as drawing teacher to two sisters. Before heading out to the sisters' house, he meets a mysterious woman dressed entirely in white here, in the middle of the broad, bright high-road […] stood the figure of a solitary Woman, dressed from head to foot in white garments […] I was far too seriously startled by the suddenness with which this extraordinary apparition stood before me, in the dead of night and in that lonely place, to ask what she wanted . Anne herself is almost constantly slipping around in terms of identity, revealing her own fractured personality. She goes from calm to agitated—all at the drop of a hat. But the narrative never judges Anne or views her psychological problems in a negative light. And she herself is a surprisingly crucial part of the narrative; he
