About the Item
"Close Your Eyes and Imagine That Clouds Are Edible" by the Portuguese artist Joana Antunes is a vivid and emotionally resonant piece, created with acrylic and charcoal on canvas. Measuring 147 x 80 cm (57.9 x 31.5 in), the artwork blends bold colors, intricate textures, and dreamlike imagery to evoke a sense of wonder and introspection.
The piece is an explosion of vibrant hues—reds, yellows, blues, and greens—layered in an expressive and almost chaotic composition. At the center of the painting is a human figure with closed eyes, exuding serenity amidst a whirlwind of abstract shapes and symbols. The figure appears to be immersed in a state of deep imagination, inviting the viewer to step into a dreamlike world where the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur. The title itself inspires curiosity and whimsy, drawing attention to the mystical and playful themes present in the work.
Joana Antunes is an artist deeply connected to the energy of life, numerology, and mysticism. These themes are reflected in the symbolic richness of this piece. The vibrant palette and energetic strokes suggest a flow of life and emotions, while the interplay of abstract and figurative elements hints at hidden meanings and universal truths.
The artwork speaks to universal human experiences—imagination, introspection, and the mystical connection to nature and the universe. Joana incorporates elements of numerology and symbolism, making her work a fascinating subject for interpretation and personal connection.
As a Portuguese artist, Joana brings a unique perspective to her art, blending her cultural roots with universal themes. Her use of acrylic and charcoal creates a dynamic interplay between texture and fluidity, a hallmark of her artistic identity.
Joana Antunes' growing reputation as a contemporary artist who bridges the mystical with the modern. Her commitment to exploring themes of energy, life, and symbolism resonates with collectors who seek pieces with both aesthetic appeal and intellectual depth. The combination of her distinctive style, the size of the canvas, and the intricate execution of this piece justifies its market price.
Imagine standing before a canvas that feels alive with energy and color. At its heart is a serene figure, eyes closed, as if immersed in a vivid daydream. Surrounding the figure is a cascade of vibrant, swirling colors—reds, yellows, and blues—that seem to pulse with life. The abstract elements and fluid shapes suggest hidden meanings, as though the painting itself is a puzzle to be unraveled. It is a celebration of imagination and the mystical connections between humans and the universe, radiating warmth and vitality.
This painting is a statement piece, ideal for a collector who appreciates not only the aesthetic qualities of art but also its ability to evoke emotion and introspection. Its size makes it a commanding presence in any space, whether displayed in a home or a gallery.
