“Art is the reality of dreams” This phrase, dear to José de Guimarães, takes on its full meaning when viewed in the face of this powerful and poetic work.
A three-headed monster, primal guardian of the three oceans, opens and transforms into a flower. Violence and gentleness, myth and tenderness, Africa and Europe meet in a vibrant chromatic explosion. Totems, archaic symbols, and hybrid forms characteristic of Guimarães’s universe unfold here in a contagious visual joy.
An engineer by training and an anthropologist at heart, José de Guimarães (born in 1939) is one of the most original and collected Portuguese artists of his generation. His unique language blends tribal art, ancient symbolism, and colorful modernity.
A rare and instantly recognizable piece, this lithograph embodies all the generous poetry and hybrid energy that define the artist’s signature.
