Surrealism & Introspection

“Ventre” – the Portuguese word for “belly” – draws its inspiration from the profound symbolism and significance associated with this sacred part of the human body.

The inspiration behind “Ventre” stems from the belief that the belly represents the seat of our intuition, creativity, and emotions. It is the vessel where life is nurtured, where the seeds of creation take root and blossom.

The painting portrays a rich tapestry of swirling forms, textures, and vibrant hues, evoking a sense of vitality and energy. The central focus is on the enigmatic belly, depicted as a captivating portal to the depths of our innermost being.

The belly represents the seat of our emotions and unconscious desires. It is a reservoir of unspoken truths and suppressed experiences. “Ventre” serves as a visual representation of the need to embrace and integrate our emotional landscapes, recognizing the transformative power that lies within. It signifies the connection to our divine essence, the source of life and creativity that resides within us. The painting encourages us to listen to the whispers of our intuition, to trust our gut instincts, and to honor the wisdom that emanates from our core.

“Ventre” is an invitation to delve into the depths of our being, to explore the intricacies of our emotions, and to embrace the fullness of our creative potential. It is a reminder that within each of us lies a sacred space, a sanctuary of intuition and profound connection.

Allow “Ventre” to ignite your curiosity and awaken your senses. Embrace the power of your belly, your intuition, and your creative energy. May this artwork serve as a reminder of the deep well of wisdom that resides within you, waiting to be explored and embraced.
