As coisas boas chegam numa maré colorida

de um equinócio de esperança.

Os amigos são como música,

os amores como  poesias.

 

Nesta tela, uma maré colorida é obtida numa paleta cromática ampla onde se estabelecem ritmos inesperados que como ondas interceptam largos horizontes coloridos. Entre amarelos azuis e vermelhos vibrantes reinventam-se estranhos  espaços marinhos e a realidade  transfigura-se em amplos equinócios.
