The painting I choose today was created by Julio Quaresma,one of my favorites artists of all time.Julio Quaresma was born in Angola in 1958.He is one of the most accomplished Portuguese speaking painters.
This Painting denominated Palacio da Pena depicts an abstract image using a style that the artist calls it A Pintura Espiritual Portuguesa( The Portuguese Spiritual Painting). This painting depicts human parts torn apart from a body located in a port situated in the middle of the desert. This piece of art was inspired by Dali surrealism style and it is a manifestation against the racism and separatism existent among Portuguese speaking countries.
I think the artist did an amazing job and I really enjoy the dynamics,the metamorphoses and the separation of roles existent in the painting, such as the floor at the port bleeding and the human arm morphing into nature shapes like tree branches.
I also like the complexity existent in both foreground and background, and how the entire painting contains secret messages that only the people that understand the separatism existent in the Portuguese countries are able to decipher. The contrast and similarities within the painting creates both confusion and insight and it makes this painting resemble like a puzzle.
