The three Marys

Inspired by the depth of Portuguese literature, 'As Três Marias' by Lena Gal is a visual journey through expressionism, where each brushstroke captures the essence of ancient myths and the complexity of human emotions. The tension between ancient and modern is skillfully portrayed through everyday objects such as cowboy boots, transformed into symbols of traditions and memories. The grunge texture of the work, along with the clever use of patterns and colors, offers a rich visual tapestry that challenges the viewer to uncover the hidden secrets behind the way of dressing. This piece is not just a painting; is a powerful statement about the passage of time, the perseverance of culture, and humanity's endless search for meaning.
