"No one lived on the top of the mountain any longer.
Houses had been eaten by the hunger that time has and the belfry of the church fell asleep on the rock sound of the last Ding-Dong that the bell rang. But for Rosana and Alexandra was the time to adventures and discoveries. The September before school was spent in the village, and the last summer days had the flavour of Strawberry and plum jam that they kept all year round.
They went out searching for the falling apart houses' secrets and seeking the memories, remembrances and the stories of the people who already lived there. Once again, early in the morning they took breakfast and left under Grandma's warnings not to do anything dangerous and risky.
While they were peeking at the belfry, they heard a distant, lonely and sad meow. They called him back and Napoleon the cat of all battles, appeared, soft and gray, gentle and curious.
Who had forgotten Napoleon they didn't know or how he had appeared in the village.
There were old telephone book pages pasted on the belfry walls and on them a drawing of a House, a boy and a girl, maybe the owners of Napoleon who had to leave him behind in a hasty moving or in a touching leaving. The girls didn't even hesitate.
The cat was found, so they took him to Grandma's House. But it was the cat that hesitated between the comfort of parties and pampering grandmother and the hunting of unaware little field mice, in the ruined village.
He chose the village where there was more fun and freedom and, from year to year, in September, the girls would come back and he would have the company of his occasional owners, for adventures and discoveries. The rest of the time, he took care of abandoned houses and their owners drawn on the walls in ancient phone lists that they had left behind. Maybe they will return in any end-of-summer."

Done on gallery wrapped canvas, with no need for framing, as the edges are painted, ready to hang.

Brief biographical statement:
Alvarenga Marques or Al.Ma. is a Portuguese artist who was born in Mozambique , where she spent her childhood.
Actually she lives and works at Porto, in the north of Portugal, divided between teaching and plastic creation.
AlMa took her Licentiate Degree in Painting in 1992 at FBAUP (University of Fine Arts of Porto).
She has participated in several collective Exhibitions and activities since 1988 in Portugal, Germany, Brazil, France, Spain, Canada, etc., She held several solo exhibitions in Portugal and received some awards and distinctions both in Portugal and abroad.
AlMa comes from a generation of artists that has chosen, facing a saturated visual world, the appropriation and recycling of several images from varied sources, for the last twenty, thirty years.
Yet, her inclusion in this group is controversial, since instead of the usual method of unconditional stealing of references, historic quotations and the respective recycling giving rise to a scattering of the meaning, her case has been revealing a restricted idiosyncratic orientation. That Alma wants us to be enraptured by this childhood world seems to be, in the very act, her aim. Though it clearly shows, at first sight, a good imitation of the compulsory childish trend to write and paint on inappropriate surfaces, the author’s vandalism, only apparently innocent, goes obviously even farther.In this fluid, transparent and theatrical space, an interaction of mutual influence, either graphic or plastic, reveals itself – between the background pulsation (staging reality) and the overlapped drawings (paradigmatic of the childish imaginary). From this agitation an expressive strength of a nostalgic, metaphysic and a kind of lost time atmosphere appears.
About her process the artist says:” I like to play with images and establish tensions, to focus attention from some icons by opposition to others. At the present, I frequently use images like pop stars or very recognized objects in comparison with others less recognized, like typical, regional or tribal ones.Sometimes this context creates a bizarre and an unexpected environment that I intend to catch the observer and lead him to wonder.I broach the subject with a playful mood, and use scrawls to demarcate the territory that represents my imagination”.
