David Ferraz - Oporto 002P

A unique work signed by the author, 2011. Oil pastel on a wood-fiber panel, a piece that is part of a series of drawings of urban landscapes. Made in different years and supports, they are free-expression works, where different techniques are explored and drawing as an end in itself. They are generally small in size and parallel to the artist's central body of work, which consists of large-scale contemporary paintings.

David Ferraz, a visual artist trained academically in architecture, participated in his first group exhibition in 2000. An essentially figurative artist who grounds his painting in drawing and formal composition, in a free and spontaneous manner, embracing error and time in layering as a method of creation, which translates into a very distinctive artistic language.

A large portion of his work is held in private, national and international collections.

At the moment, David Ferraz is preparing his new project and exhibition for a prestigious international gallery.
