The Seven States of Water

In celebration of the International Year of Water and as part of the Multiple Impressions exhibition, the Portuguese Center for Serigraphy presents this collection of works by painter Manuel Carmo, titled "The Seven States of Water." Through a refined and concise language of contrasting reds and blues, the artist explores the various facets of water, connecting them to human experiences and expectations.

Manuel Carmo's paintings invite us to reflect on the different states and transformations of water, symbolizing the fluidity of life itself. With a minimalist approach, he captures the essence of this element, creating a visual dialogue between the vibrant reds and serene blues. Through his brushstrokes, Carmo delves into the depths of our emotions and aspirations, evoking a sense of wonder and contemplation.

Each artwork in this collection represents a unique state of water, whether it be the calmness of a lake, the turbulence of a waterfall, or the tranquility of a river. With a masterful use of color and composition, Carmo invites us to immerse ourselves in his poetic interpretation of water, revealing its power to shape and nourish our existence.

Join us on a visual journey through "The Seven States of Water" as we explore the artist's profound connection to this vital element, and reflect on our own relationship with the ever-changing nature of life.
