RUI CARRUCO
As Mãos que Construíram o Mar
Tribute to Miguel Folque
This painting pays tribute to Miguel Raul Folque Socorro, founder of Real Atunara and a key figure in the business history of the Algarve’s maritime and canning industries.
Built from visual fragments that intersect and overlap, the portrait seeks to reflect how a life can extend beyond the individual to become a legacy. The face emerges among references to the world of the company, memory and everyday life, as though past and present coexist within a single image.
Between figuration and abstraction, the composition celebrates vision, determination and the ability to build something lasting. More than a portrait of a man, this painting seeks to capture the mark a life can leave on a community, a region and the generations that follow.
