Local:

Largo Calderon Dinis, nº 3

Synopsis:

String Quartet


The String Quartet intervention is a artwork that speaks of integration through culture, namely music. This place of meeting, dialogue and understanding between cultures shows five animals from five different continents playing a traditional instrument from each region, he reveals. The idea of the mural, which will take over the gable of a building in Casal dos Machados, is to show that music requires coordination that fosters dialogue and understanding between cultures. My drawing, being realistic, addresses the issue of possible union and integration through art which, unfortunately, seems to be the only point of understanding between peoples”.
