"Back to Rural" - SOLD!

"Back to Rural " is a large-scale, transformative piece (219cm x 111cm) that represents a profound journey of liberation and self-discovery. It captures the transition from the structured, intense corporate world of a CEO in a bustling metropolis like Lisbon to the serene, unstructured embrace of rural life in Serra da Estrela Mountains. This work celebrates empowerment, not defined by titles or roles, but through reconnection—with nature, creativity, and one’s authentic self. It symbolizes shedding the old to embrace a new identity as an emerging artist.

The canvas, raw, unsized, and unprimed, offers a tactile connection to the natural world, amplifying the organic energy of the piece. Its dimensions (219cm x 111cm) make it a striking centerpiece, ideal for a large living room, office, or even exterior spaces.

The background is divided into two asymmetrical sections, symbolizing the dichotomy of urban and rural life:
At the heart of the piece, a central transition zone serves as a metaphor for personal transformation. This zone is dynamic, filled with layered textures and movement, signifying the inevitable, purposeful journey between two worlds.

The piece invites the viewer to reflect on their own journeys of transformation and serves as a powerful reminder of the beauty in change and liberation. With its commanding size and emotional depth, "Back to Rural" is not only a work of art but also a conversation piece that can elevate any large living room, office, or outdoor environment. A artwork to experience, not just to be seen.
