In Raúl Perez's artwork, we are captivated by the spectacle of a world in metamorphosis, wings in unstable balance over the portals of mystery, imponderable forms, lunar wanderings of the earth. Édipo in the thousand faces of secrecy and illusion.

Raúl Perez

Raúl Perez was born in Lovelhe, Minho, in 1944. A recognized painter and illustrator, he has preserved in his art, to this day, the spirit of Surrealism. In 1972, he held his first solo exhibition at the São Mamede Gallery in Lisbon, where he presented images from his Oniric Diary. In 1973, he joined the "Phases" group in Paris, and the following year the group exhibited at the Van Esene Museum in Brussels. From this date, he regularly held solo exhibitions and participated in collective exhibitions in Portugal and abroad. We highlight his involvement in these important exhibitions: in 1975, "The Strange Corpse, its Exaltation," commemorating the 50th anniversary of the surrealist movement in Paris, held at the Ottolini Gallery in Lisbon; in 1976, as part of the "Phases" group, in the international surrealist exhibition "Marvelous Freedom - Vigilance of Desire," organized by the American surrealist magazine Arsenal, at the Black Swan Gallery in Chicago; in 1977, an exhibition organized by the surrealist magazine Brumes Blondes, at the invitation of its editor, the poet Laurens Van Krevel, in Amsterdam; in 1978, the "International Exhibition of Pictorial Poetry," held at the Bochum Museum, (FRG) and an exhibition in homage to the poet António Maria Lisboa, organized by Cruzeiro Seixas, at the Costa do Sol Tourism Board Gallery in Estoril; in 1981, in the icono-biographical exhibition "Three Poets of Surrealism: António Maria Lisboa, Pedro Oom, and Mário Henrique-Leiria," organized by Mário Cesariny, at the National Library in Lisbon; in 1986, "The Fantastic in Contemporary Portuguese Art," held at the Calouste Gulbenkian Modern Art Center in Lisbon; in 1992, an exhibition organized by the surrealist group Salamandra in Madrid, at the Âncora Studio in Madrid; in 2003, with Cruzeiro Seixas in the exhibition "Hands are the Landscape that Looks at Us," at the São Mamede Gallery in Lisbon. In 2006, the Cupertino de Miranda Foundation organized a retrospective of his plastic work, in 2009; the Berardo Museum - CCB
