The Nutcrackers invite you to discover the magic universe of reflection in contemporary art through a unique journey to the sound of chimera clock, following the march of the wood soldier in order to crack the conscious and discover the nut of dialogue, culminating in the victory of signs. This immersive exhibition brings together the artists Gulnar Sacoor, Tebo and Fabián Caro Román under the theme of dream and spirituality. In evidence is the Dialogues collection, by Gulnar Sacoor, in which the Mozambican artist crosses, in an emotional dialogue, the Piet Modrian’s abstract and unique design with his horizontal and vertical lines and primary color palette, with the meditative art of Mark Rothko and its mature relationship to colors, alternating contrasts and subtle chromatic variations, in a quest for silence in the contemplation of art. Also, within this dialogue around minimalist aesthetics, the series Rush Maps and Post-Vacation Indication by Barcelona artist Diego Estebo Ortiz are presented. Diego, artistically known as Tebo, brings us here minimalist compositions, with a taste for the immediacy and the primitive, where his two favorite themes merge: signs and landscapes.

The exhibition room also has a space dedicated to the fantastic and magical beings that inhabit the sculptures of the Chilean artist Fabián Caro Román, an appeal to the metaphysical and prophetic in which the fertility, eroticism and magic of the warrior figures assume original forms in a surrealist model.

The exhibition “The Beasts of Beauty” brings together in an engaging and interactive setting three outstanding contemporary artists: Catarina Diaz, José A. Faraco and Hossam Dirar. An immersive exhibition that intends to be a hymn to contemporaneity and that unites sensorial and experiential design with images of the “dream worlds” of fashion and everyday life, between the real and the imaginary, dialoguing with the naturalization and exaltation of female beauty.

The Beasts of Beauty is a celebration of the female figure, of her creative and autonomous power, with a focus on her strength and spiritual dimension. The exhibition “The Beasts of Beauty” brings together the London-based artist Catarina Diaz, who, through analogue collage and oil sticks, gives visibility to the female figure inspired by London’s cosmopolitan life, fashion, as well the memories of a childhood inhabited by vibrant and exotic chromaticism of Western Africa. The artworks on exhibition are based on an aesthetic of the sensitive, whose shifts fluctuate between spirituality, pop-art and surrealism; At her side, the Egyptian artist Hossam Dirar brings us a series of paintings about the figure of Nefertiti, here reinvented in the light of contemporaneity and fashion, combining pop culture references with the elegance of Ancient Egyptian art. His work reflects the importance of symbols, stories and myths surrounding this important female figure in her confrontation with the modern world. Finally, we highlight the sculptures and paintings by the Spanish artist José A. Faraco, who presents us with a vision around the desexualization and naturalization of the female nude.

This Spring the São Rafael Galleries mark the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination with the immersive exhibition «In the skin of» which brings together artists of different ethnicities, crossing African, Egyptian, Mexican and Portuguese artistic visions about peace, beauty and art.

The exhibition also includes works by Mexican artist Gabriela González Leal, exploring Mesoamerican childhood worldviews, and Portuguese artist Ricardo Gomes, combining art and therapy. The goal is to invite viewers to put themselves in the skin of the artists and reflect on what it means to be human in the modern world.

In this exhibition, the viewer is invited to put himself in the skin not only of the artists, through their shared reflections, but also in the skin of what it means to be a woman, to be a man, to be a child, to be an artist, to be from a country, to be from a culture, to be who do you want to be in the modern world? This exhibition is a celebration of beauty and a call for all of us to abandon the heavy heritage of injustice and cruelty and step into the skin of equality, fraternity and freedom. So this Spring, São Rafael Galleries are in the skin of Hope.

“The BeansTalkers” is an immersive exhibition dedicated to tradition, crossing Portuguese, Chilean and Indonesian traditions, songs and visualities through Vimoc, Cecília Acevedo and Carlos Teixeira artworks.

In this series, the artists seek to recover the Portuguese tradition of the application of gilded woodcarving, combining the dynamic morphology of the gold leaf with the raised hand drawing. In this exhibition, Chilean crochetpainting artist Cecília Acevedo makes her national debut, who through textile fibers seeks to empower the sensory experience, adding the tactile system. The works “Tesoro Callejero” and “Moais” stand out, which seek to evoke a new concept of emotional art through the crochet technique, created from botanical threads, hand-dyed by the artist with natural pigments.

Painting and photography artist Carlos Teixeira closes this art room with the series “Ruralities” and “The Essence of Commerce”. Ruralities brings us a series of paintings with a focus on rurality and the simplicity of its people, on the fraternal relationship with the land, with the animals, against a backdrop of black color and blocks of pure color on the protagonists. And in The Essence of Commerce the artist from Braga takes us to a raw look at traditional commerce, focusing on the characteristic and identifying features of the cultural matrix and the imagination of merchants.
