Sonho de Fernando Pessoa debaixo de uma latada numa tarde de Verão 1983

Antonio Dacosta's 1983 painting, "Sonho de Fernando Pessoa debaixo de uma latada numa tarde de Verão," is a vibrant and expressive work that embodies the artist's signature style, characterized by bold strokes and a sense of spontaneity. The painting depicts a solitary figure, likely Pessoa, sitting under a leafy canopy, rendered in a vibrant green, suggestive of a summer afternoon. The figure's presence is partially obscured, emphasizing the dreamlike atmosphere and the mystery of Pessoa's thoughts. Dacosta’s use of color, with shades of blue and brown, adds to the dreamlike, almost surreal, quality of the work.
