ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Synopsis Continuing to play with Pleasure. What I feel when I quiet my body and sit down to paint on this scale (very different from the physical demands of larger paintings) Both are important, and necessary, sizes! I am also, especially this year, returning to certain things that I love, and along the way I abandoned. Drawing in graphite or colored pencil. Hence, these series of small originals, which will sprout here in the coming weeks like seeds planted some time ago will, I hope, bring to your lives an integration of art, as a means of stillness, contemplation through an object, communication and a sense of belonging and community to your family life. Medium Japanese watercolor, colored pencils and graphite on 640 gr rag paper, basically cotton paper made by Indian craftsmen, a paper that has always been considered the most resistant paper, and that best maintains whatever you paint or print. Measurements 22x16cm Signed on the back

My painting began in the sweetest memory of my childhood of seeing my father always in love with music. He worked with classical music all his life and had a vinyl shop were I went to help him many times, and I remember the days when he came home late and closed himself to his zen moment and flooded our beds with Chopin, Bach and Ravel. When I started painting, first figurative, my search was always on abstracts, like a first love, so It all made sense when a kind of bridge built itself in the perfect timimming, between my work and music and the power of abstraction as a unique and individual inner sound.. When I was ready and had the courage to start painting abstract, I immediately perceived the intellectual demand that my choice brought me. There was behind the chosen forms a deep sense of being. That was when Bach came and gave meaning to my work. He brought me back the memories of my father's music, and that was the leap to interpret my favorite compositions on canvas like a golden hand that was given to me by fate, as in a dialogue between me and the composer or interpreter. It has become an exchange of emotions and the beginning of a long road leading me to the light in all themes that my interior need to provide, with the knowledge that it takes only one man to change something for the better in other people's lives. Art comes to the artist as a responsibility to serve. My name*s meaning conjuncts Grace (Graça) and Peace (Paz) and I born at 4 of March 1967 in Porto, and l presently live and works in the Rural north of Portugal in Minho.
