Watercolour on paper, 24 × 18cm.
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.
Joana uses layering and changes of perspective to create multiple narratives within her compositions. This unframed painting on paper from 2020 is typical of the artist’s imagery, where figures are seen hiding, embracing, resting and playing together in a range of dreamlike scenarios. Caring and nurturing are strong themes which run through the artist’s practice.
Purchased works are usually despatched within three working days.
