About The Artwork

"Signs and Wonders" is a heartfelt sem-abstract drawing brought to life with a vibrant blend of watercolor and acrylic paint. The inspiration behind this artwork stems from the artist's deep reflections on the cherished memories of childhood. In the canvas, a vivid tableau unfolds, capturing the essence of a summer spent observing the playful escapades and natural explorations of their own children. As the artist delved into these recollections, a poignant realization surfaced—it had been far too long since they had journeyed into the realms of their own childhood memories. The painting becomes a portal to the past, a conduit to the artist's grandparents and the profound impact they had on their formative years. The composition is rich with symbolism, each element carefully chosen to pay homage to the artist's ancestors. The inclusion of chili peppers serves as a tribute to the artist's grandfather, who harbored a deep affection for these fiery spices. The vibrant blooms scattered throughout the canvas are a nod to the paternal grandmother, whose love for planting and painting flowers left an indelible mark on the artist's soul. In a poignant embrace of maternal nostalgia, the painting also features delicate Japanese fans, reminiscent of those brought back by the artist's grandmother from her voyages to Japan. These seemingly simple objects evoke a flood of memories, encapsulating the attention and patience showered upon the artist in days gone by. As the strokes of watercolor and acrylic intertwine on the canvas, "Signs and Wonders" becomes more than a mere painting; it is a vessel for the artist to revisit the warmth, affection, and timeless moments shared with their grandparents. The artwork transcends the boundaries of time, inviting viewers to join the artist on this intimate journey through the corridors of memory, where the echoes of love and cherished moments resonate.

In 2003 Vera moved to Portugal where she's been living since then. Inspired by Kandinsky, Frank Stella, Beatriz Milhazes and Alexandra Mir, Vera Fonseka tries to make conceptual contribution in Contemporary Art. ​ Artist Statement: « Inspired by the disorder of the present time. »
