The painting titled "Fernando Pessoa encontra D. Sebastião: num 'caixão sobre um burro ajaezado à andaluza'" vividly exemplifies Neo-expressionism with its evocative and intense visual language. It depicts the famous Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa in a surreal encounter with D. Sebastião, blending historical and mythological elements. The imagery of a portrait within a coffin atop a decorated donkey embodies a dreamlike, fantastical scene that invites viewers into a symbolic universe. The work’s combination of expressive brushwork and layered symbolism reflects the movement’s focus on emotional immediacy and complex narratives.
