AcrylicDescription
"Back to Rural" is a monumental abstract painting that embodies liberation, transformation, and reconnection with authenticity. Reflecting the artist’s journey from a high-pressure CEO life in Lisbon to the serene vastness of Portugal’s Serra da Estrela Mountains, the work captures the transition from structure to freedom, from external validation to inner truth. Painted on raw, unprimed linen, the piece channels a tactile, organic energy—its surface breathing with the same vitality as the landscape that inspired it. The composition’s asymmetrical balance evokes the tension between urban order and rural spontaneity, with a dynamic central zone symbolizing metamorphosis and renewal. Earthy textures and fluid movement reveal a process of unlearning and rediscovery, mirroring the artist’s shift from corporate precision to creative instinct. Back to Rural is both visual and symbolic—a meditation on change, self-liberation, and the timeless power of returning to one’s essence.Try it!
