The Little Mermaid: The Cut (A Pequena Sereia: O Corte), Oil on Wood, 2020
private collection

Tales and Mythology is a project composed of five oil paintings on wood produced during an artist residency at ‘O Bueiro’ Artspace and Studio in Porto, shown in its inaugural ‘Desculpa, mãe’ expedition.

These paintings reinterpret classic children’s tales, exploring themes of gender, self-identity, and social perception. These ideas are reflected in the processes of cutting, arranging and building the canvas shapes.
