João Queiroz

João Queiroz - Untitled

Técnica: Oil on Canvas

Biografía del Artista: João Queiroz' landscape paintings have the objective of avoiding a categorical approach that limits the perception of what is really there and to bring back the sense of estrangement that we have lost in relation to nature and, to some extent, also in relation to art itself as the result of passive contemplation.
