"Art is an investment that brings you pleasure, pride and prestige!" ,
A J Santos Almeida

We've prepared you an introduction to Portuguese Art from the 19th and 20th centuries, including
Modern and Contemporary works, up to the present day
Dive into Portuguese Art while sipping a glass of champagne accompanied by dark chocolate bites and tasting the legendary Portuguese "Azeitão" cheese, the unique Portuguese charcuterie and savoury treats.

You'll be surrounded by original art works, paintings and sculptures.
You may consulte the library full of catalogues. But most important: Ask the host.
You'll meet an art supporter in Portugal since decades who can tell you each and every story behind the works you see and more

Of course, you can always have wonderful Portuguese beverages:
WINES from Alentejo or Douro, GIN, BEER ... coffee or tea.

An old stable converted into a house/ studio by an artist couple as a jewel/ sculpture house.
The artistic adventure started in 1996 creating the architectural solutions.
In almost 3 years, the contemporary art collection climbed its walls, took its ceilings, spread all over the floor, filling up these 230m² x 5m high and 15 x 2m sculpture garden.

José Escada (PT 1934-1980)
Pedrinhas e Ossinhos
signed/ dated 1974
oil on canvas
100 x 50 cm
Certainly one of TOP Portuguese artists ever. Between 1960 and 1971 he lived in Paris diving into abstraction, three-dimensional cut-outs and collages.
Joined one of the most important group of artists in the 60's in Paris, KWY Group with other stunning artists: René Bértholo, Lourdes Castro, António Costa Pinheiro, Gonçalo Duarte, João Vieira, Christo and Jan Voss.
Critical texts also in the unique "KWY " publications in Paris during the 60's.

Uwe Lindau (DE 1950-2022)
Der Geräderte
signed/ dated 1989
mixed media on wood
168 x 262cm
1979 Karlsruhe's Art Academy under Markus Lüpertz. IWKA group in the 80's with Georg Schalla and Ralf Bühler which "saved the building" and led to ZKM Museum.
Lindau devours huge history books, plays piano dramatically, has an accurate humour and a deep critic sense of mankind violence capacity and it's hypocrisy such as the horrors of the Holocaust or the Inquisition.
He never leaves his studio:
-"THERE'S NO TIME - I HAVE TO REACT!!!" strongly over his boards on infinite layers.
Würth is one of his biggest collectors.

"I'm not painting according to the established rules, you'll have to say that I'm exploding - occasionally - like a volcano - sleeping a hundred years and then ...
I do not listen to music when I paint - the TV is rushing to me.
Leonardo inspires me... I love piloting battles, but also the desert". Uwe Lindau.

Nelson Cardoso (BR 1958)
The Gambler
signed/ dated 2005
cardboard construction on wood
31 x 27 x 15 cm
1980 - 83 Studied Painting and Sculpture at AR.CO Art School in Lisbon under Graça Costa Cabral. In 1988 represented Portugal in the Iwate-Machi Stone Sculpture Symposium - Japan, under Minoru NIIZUMA.
One of his biggest installations belongs to the Berardo Collection in Lisbon. Last solo show was Alquimia (Na Tasca), catalogue by Rajele Jain, Travessa da Ermida - Belém, Lisbon 2017.
Cardoso reflects the joy and drama(???) of SUBURBAN cultures of the Mega-Polis with it's common people.
Lately he focuses also on the lack of straight communication due to too much technology devices everywhere.
"We are reminded of the significance of companions, community, togetherness, bodies. This is also another aspect: the meaning of bodies in the communication process In today’s time of post- and trans-human concepts and virtual messengers." Rajele Jain.
