Fine Art Cris Pires Furtado in Exhibition “Expressions
and Impressions” at Mercedes-Benz Cultural Space in Sintra – Portugal
“Expressions and Impressions” at the
Mercedes-Benz Cultural Space in Sintra, Portugal. The exhibition had the
participation of the fine art Cris Pires Furtado, who
presented two works that convey internal emotions and invite the viewer to dive
into a universe of sensations, where colors and shapes intertwine in perfect
harmony.
The works of Cris Pires Furtado are full of
symbolism and emotional depth. The artist uses abstract painting techniques to
create compositions that express her deepest emotions. Her works are an invitation for
the viewer to connect with their own emotions and feelings.
In the “Expressions and Impressions” exhibition,
Cris Pires Furtado presented two works that were highly praised by the public
and critics. The first work, entitled “Universo de Sensações”, is an explosion
of colors and shapes that convey the joy and vitality of life. The second work,
entitled “Harmonia Interior”, is a more introspective composition, which
invites the viewer to reflect on their deepest emotions.
Cris Pires Furtado's participation in the
“Expressions and Impressions” exhibition was a great success. His works were
highly praised by the public and critics, who highlighted the emotional depth
and aesthetic beauty of her compositions. The exhibition as a whole was a
celebration of the democracy of Brazilian art, which has much to contribute to
the international art world.
The contemporaneity
explored by this group of Brazilian artists is the portrait of the experiences,
memories and feelings of each artist. Art expresses the way of seeing and
feeling the world and more than ever art must be democratic.
We live in a society full
of rules and standards and the richness of Brazilian Art is a very important
tool to show the world the explosion of possibilities that Contemporaneity
brings to the history of our society.
The works bring together
intense and generational artistic proposals that contrast in styles, traits and
forms, but that brilliantly translate the explosion of experiences of Brazilian
contemporaneity.
The expressions
materialized through abstraction, whether in their geometric form or through
seduction, delicacy, in collages, drawings, sculptures or even in disordered
figurative. All show cutouts and complexities that make the process of knowing
and recognizing these impressions transforming.
An immersion that offers
the viewer: The deconstruction of patterns and plastered pillars give space to
imagination. The undeniable encounter of Brazilian diversity
An exhibition that offers
powerful and complex reflections such as our soul, curated by Flávia Coelho,
Alma Brasileira
Inngallery, Rodyner

The Exhibition lasts from
July 25 to August 31, 2023
