Inspiration

The inspiration behind "Saudade" stems from the profound Portuguese concept of saudade, a word that encapsulates the deep emotional state of longing for something or someone that is absent and may never return. This feeling is often associated with nostalgia and melancholy, yet it also carries a sense of beauty and love. The bird in the painting represents the spirit of something cherished that has flown away, leaving behind a poignant sense of absence and desire. The use of gold and copper leaf signifies the precious and enduring nature of these memories and emotions, highlighting their importance and value in our lives.

Materials

"Saudade" is meticulously hand-painted on stretched canvas using high-quality acrylic paints. The bold, expressive black brushstrokes are created with precision to form the delicate yet powerful image of the bird.
