Abstração Verdes (2018) Painting by Afonso Costa

Afonso Costa is a contemporary Portuguese artist. Having acquired a multitude of technical and artistic skills, he naturally gravitated towards abstraction and expressionism, employing hands-on craftsmanship and personal engagement with the objects he creates, spanning various scales and utilizing a diverse array of materials and techniques. His intention is to guide the viewer through a broad spectrum of emotions, evoking different places and moments within their own imagination.

He employs numerous methods to explore his means of expression and document shapes, narratives, light, colors, emotions, and life's fleeting instances. His artistic practice is highly physical and explosive, yet always achieves a sense of fluidity and equilibrium, derived from the artist's keen observation of nature.
