"Shout: - Do not flee from me, gentle shadow.
She, with her eyes on me, with a soft modesty,
as if she says she can no longer be,
She escapes from me again. And I shout: ─ Dina...,
before she says a word, I wake up and see
that I cannot even have a brief illusion."
Luís de Camões, Sonnet to Dinamene.
José de Guimarães, one of the leading artists in contemporary Portuguese art and our most international artist, never fails to surprise us with each of his works. The serigraphy "Camões and Dinamene", a special edition on handmade paper, continues the universe of fragmentation, combined with a vibrant chromaticism in contrasting primary colors, emblematic of his expression. Against the navy blue background, evocative of the ocean that Dinamene lost and mythologized, the shadows of the poet and his beloved are outlined, pure silhouettes, more souls than bodies, which numerology emphasizes, with the number three symbolizing divine manifestation and unity. Transcorporeal essences imbued with the magical blooming of life, both realities and mirages, fantasies and dreams that are also part of nature. Only the talent of an exceptional artist, whose journey has accompanied and glossed over the metamorphoses of life, can achieve the miracle of this mystical and magical union of complementing opposites that mutually illuminate each other.
