The Blue that Plays
O Azul que Brinca
Acrylic palette knife painting80 × 50 cmHeight × width · canvas
In this painting, I sought to capture the lightness and charm of a pure moment — a little girl in a blue striped dress playing by the shore, feeling the sand and sea as if the world itself were a play of light and color. My semi-figurative, semi-abstract style, with subtle lines and geometric hints, reflects the movement of childhood and the fluidity of memory. I use impasto to build texture and depth, allowing color to almost breathe on the canvas.
