3rd work from the Sinapse series. Dripping style enamel and acrylic background on canvas. Abstract expressionism, without any figurative representation.
Abstraction on thematic concept:
Maxuxa is a local term used by the people of Sesimbra that designates a bundle of fishing threads that are left coiled after being used. It is also used to designate something that is complicated to sort out. This allegory between the name "Maxuxa" and the pictorial abstraction taken from this work "Synapse" is also for me a recognition that even things that seem to be simpler in life have as much value as the more complex ones, kneading bread, is as worthy as performing a surgery or as erecting a brick wall, that no one is excluded or excluded, we are all valid, even if sometimes life is in a "maxuxa".

Large scale piece, i'll ship it on a wooden crate, ready to hang, gallery wrapped stretched on a supported wooden frame, with hooks on the back. I sign my paintings on the back but i can sign them also on the front by request. Authenticity certificate included.
