Description from the seller

ABOUT THE PAINTER
"Born on December 16, 1973 in the city of Viseu, Portugal, Filipe Rebelo, stage name Phill Bello, studied in secondary education the fine arts track. During these years he first encountered various media such as charcoal drawing, graphic drawing, gouache painting, and watercolor, ultimately opting for oil painting as his final project in high school.

He later attended the Painting course at the Porto School of Arts, where he created his first works.

He did lithography and screen printing, painted ceramics and did various stencil works.

He held a collective exhibition in Porto with other students from the School.

He moved to Lisbon where he worked as a graphic designer and illustrator.

Several private and collective exhibitions followed.

He currently dedicates himself solely to painting, receiving commissions from various personalities and companies.

ABOUT THE PAINTING

This is an oil painting, abstract, with strong visual impact, built from a vertical composition that evokes the continuous movement of rain or lights falling through space.

The palette is dominated by deep, nocturnal, almost marine blues, contrasted by vertical strokes in white, beige, and light tones, that run down the surface of the canvas. These lines create a repetitive and hypnotic rhythm, conveying a sense of falling, fluidity, and the passage of time.

At the lower part, the brushstrokes become more horizontal and dense, suggesting reflections, pools of water, or a liquid surface being struck by droplets. The layering of colors adds texture and depth, with thicker areas of paint that capture light subtly.

The overall work conveys a contemplative, melancholic, and poetic atmosphere, reminiscent of a rainy night seen through a window or urban reflections in the rain. It is a sophisticated piece that dialog with contemporary environments very well, bringing drama, elegance, and introspection to the space.
