His paintings are happy and carefree and his creations appear to have seemingly childish strokes, which are actually deliberate. Rui Gomes had a peaceful, happy childhood and tries to eternalize it with his work. His creations, which are made with high technical control, aim to the emotional side and are difficult to put in words and writing. The paintings of Rui Gomes are refreshing, positive, enjoyable and charming, deserving without doubt peaceful and pleasant contemplation. While you observe the paintings of Rui Gomes you have the feeling of being on a fun and playfull journey. |
