Filipa Oliveira Antunes’ third solo show in this gallery is inspired by Fernando Pessoa’s poem “Andorinha que vais alta”.
The set of 22 works developed for this exhibition intend to celebrate the Swallow, as a symbolic value, filling the rare examples of her record in the History of Art in Portugal.
In this sense, Filipa Oliveira Antunes was interested in understanding the poetic and philosophical analogy of a bird so small, but with huge wings, that flying long distances, arrives in the spring, choosing our houses to settle, until another departure for other directions.
