VARIED VARIATIONS ON EVERYDAY OBJECTS

Through the use of photography and collage, this screen print by renowned artist Maria José Oliveira (b. 1943) explores variations on everyday objects, with a particular focus on an essential element such as bread. It reflects fundamental aspects of her minimalist aesthetic, incorporating both figurative and symbolic components. Ana Godinho captures this aesthetic succinctly: "We carefully and leisurely gaze at Maria José Oliveira's precious and almost magical objects, witnessing a multitude of transmutations taking place in every moment." In this particular case, the dimension of bread is enriched with the symbolic and poetic content associated with it.
