Description from the seller
Description (Portuguese)
Fonseca Martins (Portugal, 1949)
Stained Glass in the Jungle (2026)
Mixed media on canvas.
Original work executed in 2026, representing a composition inspired by a stained glass integrated into a jungle environment, where geometric shapes, color and nature merge in a contemporary artistic language. The work highlights one of the most experimental facets of Fonseca Martins' production, reflecting the constant evolution of his artistic language over a career spanning more than five decades.
