“Art is the reality of dreams.” This phrase, which José de Guimarães likes to repeat, takes on its full meaning when faced with this powerful work: a three-headed monster, primal guardian of the three oceans, opens and becomes a flower. Violence and gentleness, myth and tenderness, Africa and Europe merge in the same explosion of colors and symbols. Born in 1939, José de Guimarães is one of the most fascinating Portuguese artists of his generation. An engineer by training, an anthropologist at heart, and a passionate collector, he has created a unique visual language: vibrant totems, reinvented archaic symbols, and fragmented forms juxtaposed in a contagious chromatic joy. His works are not simply looked at; they are experienced.
This lithograph is a rare, vibrant, and instantly recognizable piece. It embodies all the hybrid and generous poetry that is Guimarães’ signature.
