Alfâma that Sings in Silence

Alfama que Canta em Silêncio

Mixed media on canvas90 × 60 cmHeight × width · canvas

In this work, I sought to listen to the silent melody of Alfama’s ancient streets, inspired by the sensitivity of Roque Gameiro. I wanted to convey the city’s soul through my semi-figurative, semi-abstract style, using impasto, vertical lines, and geometric shapes that capture fragments of time suspended in light.
