"Blue Water" is a compelling painting that exemplifies the vibrant energy of Neo-expressionism, blending bold colors and dynamic brushstrokes to evoke a visceral sense of movement. While primarily abstract, it hints at figurative elements, inviting viewers to interpret swirling aquatic forms and watery textures. The artist's expressive style captures raw emotion and a powerful connection to nature, making it a notable piece once housed in the Berardo Collection Museum in Belém, Lisbon.
