This painting is part of a thematic series related to the Portuguese landscape, characterized by its extended, scenic format. The artist drew inspiration from his experience of living temporarily in a remote location free from the noise of civilization to focus on the geographical characteristics of the territory surrounding the studio.
This work is a diptych on canvas that is part of the Ageless in the Raw series, which has been in production since 2022 and is inspired by the landscape of the region where the author regularly holds creative residencies. An environment that enters the senses due to its unique characteristics, with its vegetal mantle of plants used to sink their roots in stony soil, its intense and strong light that accentuates the colors and shapes as if they were carved in metal, the color of the earth with the nuances of schist and reddish iron rocks, the immense blue dome that projects its warm light on the pointed canopies of the pine trees through which the wind blows with its own.
