To Celebrate International Women’s Day 2022

E_SPIRIT_FORMS

An exhibition by Carla Noronha from Portugal
On display are works in acrylic and ink on paper

E_SPIRIT_FORMS is the form-creation of the non-physical part of emotions. This is how the unknowable pulsations of Nature are understood. In this seat of the great whole, entities or objects are linked, ones of their kind are distinguished among others, and the ash branches are dyed with colour.

"…It is through the perception inherent in the roughness of matter, so little cared for by men, that the artist shows us the way of the elders, from the Mediterranean to the equatorial forest, from the banks of the Amazon River to the deserted fields in South America. A microscopic and dotted line, with dots of light that emerge in the smoothness of the paper, like a path that leads us to the womb of the world…” 

- Sofia Amaro, author
