FEMININE SOUL OF THE SEA

The creature of the waters, feminine soul of the sea, nymph, mermaid, represents one of the richest veins in literature and visual arts. "Maria do Mar," a watercolor lithograph by Lurdes Leite, evokes this tradition by renewing it and giving the figure that gives the title to the composition an innocence and purity reminiscent of fairy tales and a realm that has already inspired Andersen and Sophia de Mello Breyner with her timeless "Menina do Mar". Carmine and blues coexist harmoniously in subtle transparencies animated by the fluidity of the lines.
