Discover this original signed screenprint by Maluda—an artist’s proof (EA) titled “Porto-Gaia“—measuring 29.92 x 22.04 inches (76 x 56 cm) on fine art paper and in very good condition; a rare work by the Portuguese artist Maria de Lourdes Ribeiro (1934–1999).
Standing before this work, the eye is immediately captivated by the geometric purity of the orange roofs rising in cubes, triangles, and flat planes of color. The atmosphere it evokes is profoundly silent, timeless, and contemplative; one senses a serene, almost meditative melancholy, as if time had stood still over the hills of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia. The simplified forms transform the cityscape into an abstract, poetic composition that invites a slower pace and introspection, capturing the luminous, melancholic essence of Portugal.
Unframed (never mounted), the original colors remain perfectly intact. Maluda, a painter renowned for her cityscapes and portraits, has exhibited in New York, Washington, Dallas, and Lisbon, and published her autobiography in 1981 with a foreword by Maria Helena Vieira da Silva. This artist’s proof offers a unique opportunity to acquire an authentic and sought-after work of contemporary Portuguese art—ideal for discerning collectors seeking a powerful emotional presence.
