Insurreição / Insurrection (2003) Painting by Sandra Guimarães

_Sandra Guimarães, was born on 09/17/1976, in the city of Guimarães - Portugal. She lives in the city of Porto-Portugal for several decades.

_Psychiatrist by training and by vocation and a self-taught painter by inspiration.

_Her work is part of "Surrealist Expressionism".

_A restless mind and a perceptive look at Man and society, invites us to explore the depths of the human being through a series of works that challenge our perception of reality.

_Each work is a creative, insurrectionary, multi-expressive exercise that takes us beyond, leaving a message under construction that awaits to be deciphered.

_In each work, an unusual profile, a unified duo of expression and daring.

_Truth or dare, there is an imposing desire to unravel the mysteries of human existence.

_The works are an invitation to reflection, bringing to the fore issues of submission and dominance, prejudice and subversion.

_The shock is inevitable. The temporary privations of life, scarcity and idealized fragility are exposed. At the same time, fragments of hope, a nostalgic future and an unstable balance are glimpsed.

_The subversion of the conventional reaches the indiscreet eye, seducing it with an aesthetic artifice that reveals an unthinkable reality.

_Subtle ambition and faith are shown as an antidote to adversity. Cupid shoots arrows of inspiration.

_It presents an armor against disillusionment and hopelessness, revealing the deconstruction of the obvious and the opening to another dimension.

_By passing through the door to this parallel world, the creative apology guides us towards infinity, with a message under construction that makes us “go up”, making us dive “in too deep”.

_The visitor is invited to look from the “inside out”, exploring the human essence and challenging the limits of creativity.
