Afrodite

In Conceição Mendes canvas we foresee persons, in group or lonely, that alienate of the We to observe artwork or themselves, a self-identity registry among the shades of blue, red, green and yellow. If we thought a psychological analysis of her palette we would reach a profusion of feelings of the author as existentialist narration itself. In large formats an autobiography that communicates the maturity of the exercise of the Woman. (Vieira Duque)
