About the Item

"Reflexos do Tâmega," 2024 by Joana Antunes is a captivating work of art created with acrylic and charcoal on canvas. Measuring 100 x 80 cm (39.4 x 31.5 in), this painting offers a vibrant and dynamic interpretation of the Tâmega River, blending abstract and figurative elements in Joana’s signature style. The composition is filled with intricate details, layers of texture, and vibrant splashes of color. A central focus appears to be a serene yet mysterious face that seems to emerge from the vivid chaos of the surroundings, representing a connection to nature, reflection, and human emotion. The painting’s lower section introduces figures and abstract forms, inviting the viewer to explore its depth and meaning. Joana's energetic brushstrokes and use of contrasting colors bring the scene to life, making it feel as if it is in constant motion. Symbolic and Mystical Connections: Joana Antunes is deeply influenced by numerology, symbolism, and the mystical energy of life. In "Reflexos do Tâmega," these influences are apparent in the composition, which evokes introspection and a connection to the spiritual essence of nature and human life. The Tâmega River is an iconic feature of northern Portugal, and Joana's interpretation of it is both a tribute to its beauty and a metaphor for reflection and the flow of life. The central figure’s expression and the surrounding elements evoke feelings of nostalgia, wonder, and curiosity, appealing to a universal audience. The interplay of acrylic and charcoal creates a unique textural experience, with Joana’s bold and expressive strokes showcasing her mastery of her medium. The blend of abstraction and figuration adds layers of complexity. Joana Antunes' rising prominence as a contemporary artist whose works resonate with collectors seeking both aesthetic beauty and intellectual depth. Her unique vision, rooted in mystical and symbolic themes, sets her apart in the contemporary art world. Imagine standing before a vibrant canvas that feels alive with color and energy. At the heart of the painting, a tranquil face emerges, seemingly watching over a scene bursting with life and movement. The composition is layered with swirling colors—pinks, blues, greens, and reds—interspersed with black charcoal lines that add contrast and depth. The lower part of the painting introduces abstract figures and forms, suggesting a bustling, dreamlike scene inspired by the natural and human worlds. It is as though the painting invites you to step into its realm and explore its hidden stories. This is a piece for those who appreciate artwork that goes beyond aesthetics to tell a story and evoke emotion. "Reflexos do Tâmega" is ideal for a collector who values cultural and spiritual connections in art. Its size makes it a versatile addition to any space, whether as a centerpiece in a living room or a striking addition to a personal gallery. Joana’s work is a testament to her belief in the energy of life, making it a conversation starter and a symbol of introspection.
