This is my presentation for the event in Valado Das Frades on April 11th.

When a photographer picks up a palette knife — magic happens. This describes our next Artist for Angola participant.

Anette Arvfors is originally from Sweden and has made her home in Nazaré since 2017. She paints in oils, working with palette knives rather than brushes, and draws her inspiration from her own photography — street scenes, gatherings, the small moments of daily life. Her paintings are lively and colourful, filled with people in motion, and carry a warmth that feels genuinely naïve in the best artistic sense. Recently she has also turned her eye to animals, with the same quiet joy. Come and see her work in person. 🌊🖼️

For those of you who are nearby. From 24/1 to 30/1 there will be a group exhibition at a gallery in Caldas da Rainha in Portugal, with students from the school I take a drawing course at. I am contributing with one painting 😊 This one is different from my previous paintings and painted with pastel on paper, in a realistic style. Please come by and take a look if you have the chance.

This one-week pop-up exhibition brings together works by 20 artists from the adult and senior classes of Desenhos do Bruno Academia, under the pedagogical and artistic coordination of artist Dila Moniz (.arte.design ).
