Small Steps Toward an Endless Horizon

Passos Pequenos para um Horizonte Infinito

Mixed media on canvas100 × 100 cmHeight × width · canvas3 750 €

I sought to capture the freedom and innocence of childhood through these two boys playing by the sea at sunset. I wanted to convey the idea that the simplest moments can hold a sense of infinity. My semi-figurative and semi-abstract style, combined with lines and geometric elements, allows me to suggest movement, memory, and the passage of time. The impasto creates texture and relief, bringing the painting closer to a sensory and emotional experience.
