The Jealous Curator /// curated modern artwork /// Teresa Freitas

Gasp! I wish to go to all of those cotton sweet locations! That is the completely dreamy work of Lisbon primarily based artist Teresa Freitas – that’s her within the last {photograph} – and these are her equally dreamy phrases about her work:

“The seen secret behind my work lies in how color can transport us to a refined change of actuality. Whereas the locations in my images exist, on the similar time there’s something slightly bit “off” about them. We surprise if they’re true or if we’re simply inside a dream.

I prefer to play with acquainted motifs – palm timber in Palm Springs, a Chinatown avenue, the structure of St. Petersburg – after which subvert them into one thing much less tangible and extra cinematic. My artistry lies in my composition, sure, however primarily within the conceptual and aesthetic manner wherein I take advantage of color. You will notice each daring and pastel hues in the identical picture – a visible paradox that our minds aren’t used to and a play on color that could be very fascinating to me as an artist. Past that paradox is a way of calm and happiness that regularly permeates my work.”

Ahhh, calm and happiness. That works for me. Teresa’s work is accessible by Topic Matter Artwork and you’ll observe her on Instagram at @teresacfreitas.
