About the Item

"Entre a Loba e o Coelho," 2024 Acrylic and Charcoal on Canvas Dimensions: 92 x 72 cm (36.2 x 28.3 in) "Entre a Loba e o Coelho" (Between the Wolf and the Rabbit) by Joana Antunes is a visually striking piece that blends mystical themes with vivid colors and textures. The painting is a dynamic narrative featuring a dreamlike interplay of abstract and figurative elements. At the heart of the composition, a prominent rabbit contrasts with the shadowy presence of a wolf-like figure, surrounded by a myriad of characters, animals, and natural motifs. The vibrant palette of blues, pinks, greens, and yellows, combined with the expressive strokes of charcoal, creates a layered and textured composition that feels alive with movement. The figures within the painting seem to exist in a surreal, enchanted world, inviting the viewer to explore its depths and unravel its symbolic meanings. The juxtaposition of the wolf and the rabbit—two animals often associated with contrasting energies (strength and vulnerability, predation and innocence)—adds a rich layer of symbolism. This contrast invites the viewer to reflect on themes of duality, balance, and the complexity of life. Joana’s fascination with numerology, symbolism, and mystical elements shines through in this piece. Every figure and detail seems to carry hidden meanings, creating a sense of intrigue and spiritual connection. The combination of acrylic and charcoal gives the painting a textural richness and depth. Joana’s bold, expressive brushstrokes and her ability to seamlessly blend abstraction and figuration make this piece a testament to her skill and unique artistic voice. The vibrant colors and complex composition evoke a range of emotions, making this painting not just a visual experience but an emotional journey. It’s a piece that commands attention and invites contemplation. Imagine a canvas alive with color and energy, where a large, enigmatic rabbit takes center stage, its eyes reflecting a mix of curiosity and wisdom. Behind it looms a shadowy, wolf-like figure, adding an air of mystery and tension. Surrounding these central figures is a vibrant, surreal landscape filled with human and animal characters, abstract forms, and bursts of color. The painting feels like a glimpse into a dream—a world where reality and fantasy merge, and every detail invites interpretation. This artwork is ideal for collectors who value contemporary art with rich narrative and symbolic depth. Its size makes it versatile for both home and gallery spaces, offering a bold statement piece that sparks conversation. Joana’s ability to merge the mystical and modern makes this painting more than just an artwork—it’s an emotional and intellectual experience.
