Janela ao Mar

Painting by French-Brazilian Artist Henri Carrières.

Acrylic on Canvas. Unframed 19"x 15"/ 48cm x 38cm

In Janela ao Mar, the vivid, prismatic portrait pulses with a profound emotional duality. What appears at first to be two figures may instead be a single presence fractured into overlapping selves—an echo of shifting identities and the layered inner landscapes we inhabit. The distant window and quiet sea serve as a symbolic counterpoint, suggesting escape, reflection, or the promise of elsewhere, while the warm, angular composition radiates tension and inner movement. Through this interplay of fragmentation and harmony, Janela ao Mar captures the fleeting, ever-shifting nature of selfhood itself.
