NEK - LUZ DA MARÉ - NEK

Luz da Maré is a work inspired by the connection between the sea, faith and Portuguese identity. The central figure emerges among boats, nets, fishermen and religious architecture, in a composition built through a language inspired by stained glass.

The shades of blue, turquoise and gold create an atmosphere between the maritime and the spiritual. The work represents the memory of a people deeply linked to the ocean — the light that rises from the tide and remains in memory.
