For more than 30 years I have been painting nude ladies riding, and now, I have just read the legend about "Lady Godiva" .... in summary from the culture trip ... In the eleventh century, Lady Godiva reportedly rode a horse completely naked through the streets of Coventry on Market Day. According to legend, her husband, Leofric, demanded an oppressive tax from Coventry citizens. Lady Godiva, aiming to help the citizens, pleaded for him to stop. Leofric supposedly said, “You will have to ride naked through Coventry before I change my ways.” Before beginning this quest to help Coventry, Godiva told everyone to stay in their homes to preserve her modesty. She then rode through the streets, her long hair draped so that it covered almost her whole body, allowing only her legs and eyes to remain visible. However, one man, now known as Peeping Tom, disobeyed her instructions and couldn’t help looking out at Godiva riding through Coventry on the horse. Upon doing so, the legend goes, he was instantly blinded.

I am an emerging artist who has the ambition to reach a worldwide presence. I have an active social media presence; my artworks are posted at Saatchi online, Instagram and Facebook: .carvalhoribas. I am able to come up with a range of original ideas, theories and fascinations through a variety of mediums. Although the paintings are my principal medium of expression, I also have ability to use stones, roots and trunks to create superb two, three, and four dimensional works. I have experience in creating art for either sale or exhibition and to this end I work hard to stay current with the latest artistic tools and techniques. I'm authority in my style. My paintings are unique because I made them. My work is the result of a journey of observation, mistakes, successes and learning. My mind is constantly painting. My work is compromised with myself, with my relationship with the world and it is the result of an existential necessity. I love the life. I paint as if I was being chased by working with millions of thoughts and projects at the same time. Easily I cover my spaces with my paintings - and if the others allow their spaces too!!!
