Almadeira

“Ilha do meu coração” – Madeira. Bright. Colorful. Delightful. Wild. Autentic. Natural. Breathtaking. Lush. Scenic. Exotic. Vibrant. Enchanting. So many stories and memories behind, captured by my eyes and saved in my heart. Moving to Madeira Island was a big moment for my art journey. Surrounded by its amazing views, I held my first art show and felt my creativity reach new levels. Madeira’s natural beauty, from its wild ocean waves to its rocky mountains and untouched forests, always inspired me. Even the buildings and people on the island are connected to nature, creating a peaceful and authentic atmosphere

Well, this exhibition is dedicated to landscapes and people of Madeira. So I got inspired by the unique and truly beautiful nature of Madeira. By the people of Madeira. Anywhere I go I see inspiring people, stories, places and I always feel an urge to capture everything. And it’s not only about my paintings, I also find photography an inspiring way to show yourself.

My only message is always the same: look around and find happiness and beauty in anything you see. Rather it’s an innocent sunray, gentle ocean wave, people selling fruits or juicy green grass up there in the hills.

Actually lots of my memories and stories are connected with each of my works in that exhibition. It may look like a simple cute landscape or so, but there is always an interesting adventure behind it.
