Lot Details

Oil on canvas
80 × 90 cm (31.5 × 35.4 in.)
Painted in 2024.
Located in Portugal — EU free circulation

In Limbo razão da vida, the suspended state of the title becomes a compositional principle: figures in ochre, olive and burnt red interlock without ever fully separating, as if caught between forming and dissolving. Painted in 2024, the work belongs to the same meditative register as Madrugada da razão, trading its nocturne for warmth. Instruments, bodies and vessels surface and slip back into the weave of the canvas.
Sold unframed unless otherwise stated. Bidding 23 October – 5 November 2026; on 5 November lots close sequentially from 14:30 GMT. Viewing at the Leilosoc Art Gallery, Praça Conde de Agralongo, Braga, from the public opening on 23 October: Tuesday to Friday 14:30–19:30 and Saturday 10:30–18:30 (closed Sunday and Monday).
