The Seven States of Water

As part of the International Year of Water and within the context of the Multiple Impressions exhibition, the Portuguese Serigraphy Center presented this collection of works by painter Manuel Carmo, titled: The Seven States of Water. Variations on an element that the artist, in a refined and concise language of contrasting reds and blues, connects to human experiences and expectations.

Through his art, Carmo explores the different forms and states of water, capturing its essence and reflecting on its significance in our lives. The colors used in his work create a vibrant contrast, symbolizing the diverse emotions and perspectives associated with this essential element.

With each brushstroke, Carmo invites us to contemplate the fluidity and transformative nature of water, reminding us of its importance not only for our physical well-being, but also for our emotional and spiritual balance.

His artistic approach is characterized by a minimalist aesthetic, where simplicity and precision are key. Through his precise use of color and composition, Carmo creates a visual language that allows the viewer to immerse themselves in the beauty and meaning of water.

In The Seven States of Water, Carmo invites us to reflect on our relationship with this vital resource, urging us to appreciate its versatility and power. His paintings serve as a reminder of the interconnectedness of all living beings and the need to protect and preserve our precious water sources.

Join us in this visual journey as we explore the seven states of water through the eyes of Manuel Carmo, an artist whose work not only captivates the senses but also sparks contemplation and dialogue about our connection to the natural world.
