Description from the seller

An exceptional and powerful original artwork by the renowned Portuguese neo-expressionist master, Pedro Freitas (1953–2016).

This piece, titled "A Dança" (The Dance), features five stylized, dynamic nude female figures captured in a moment of intense visceral movement. Painted in 1992, it perfectly showcases Freitas’s signature style—often compared to Van Gogh or Francis Bacon due to its emotional depth, raw brushwork, and striking use of warm earth tones, ochres, and deep reds.

Key details:
- Artist: Pedro Duarte Freitas da Silva (1953-2016)
- Title: "A Dança" (Handwritten by the artist on the bottom right)
- Medium: Oil on thick art paper ("Óleo s/ Papel" handwritten on the bottom left)
- Year: 1992 (Signed and dated on the lower center of the painting)
- Size: 78 x 58 cm (Artwork dimensions, excluding frame)
- Condition: Excellent preserved condition, framed with glass.

Pedro Freitas studied at the Superior School of Fine Arts in Lisbon and remains a highly unique figure in Portuguese contemporary art history. A fantastic investment piece for collectors of Iberian neo-expressionism and modern figurative art.
