Acrylic, watercolour and mixed media on paper, 73 x 59cm
Portugese-born artist Joana Galego’s images are informed by – in her words – ‘memories and feelings rather than actual events’. Firmly rooted in drawing, her paintings and works on paper are characterised by a vibrant palette and a visual language partly inspired by historical artists including Piero de la Francesca and Paul Gaugin.
The powerful blue hue of the protagonist’s dress dominates the image and for the artist, represents ‘immense, drowning, comforting colour’. Joana says; ‘I’m constantly drawn to the idea of people caring for each other, but I’ve only started thinking about angels more recently. I think angels move within the realm of miracles, and therefore of tireless hope.
Purchased works are usually despatched within three working days.
