Descrizione dell'opera

The Imagination is fundamental for the creative spirit. By allowing ourselves to be seized by the wings of imagination, we transcend, uproot ourselves and fly to upper levels. Mother Nature represented by the tree of life which in the Hebraic-Christian mythology is seen as a symbol of Wisdom, in a perfect analogy with the Woman Wisdom, positive symbols of creation.……………………………………………Ah!

Biography | Ester de Sousa e Sá

Ester de Sousa e Sá (Lisbon, April 18, 1921 – October 6, 1988) was one of the most complex and active figures of his time, a prolific multidisciplinary artist and an avid producer of synergies between generations of artists from both the first and the second half of the 20th century. Defending an experimental and free artistic expression, he dedicated himself to the study, promotion and practice of the arts, as well as to curatorship, critique and essay writing, photography, cinema and theater. During the 1960s he got in touch with the Fluxus movement and with the European neo-avantgarde, becoming friends with Robert Filliou and Wolf Vostell. This contact was significant to his recast of art as an experimental and participatory “open work”, of which are examples the theatrical exercise * Nós Não Estamos Algures *(1969), the expanded film *(1969-1972) and the mixed media*. He embraced a radical vision of artistic creation, rejecting traditional forms and embracing spontaneity and chance.

His formative years were marked by an early exposure to literature and philosophy, fostering his intellectual curiosity and shaping his worldview.
He pursued his studies at Universidade Nova Lisboa, where he earned a doctorate in Philosophy

His artistic career began in the 1950s with explorations of sculpture and ceramics, reflecting his fascination for natural forms and textures. He experimented with diverse materials and techniques, constantly pushing boundaries and challenging conventions. His sculptural works often incorporate organic elements—stones, clay, wood—creating evocative pieces that convey a sense of stillness and contemplation.

His most notable achievements include the creation of *Almada, Um Nome de Guerra*, a collaborative theatrical project exploring themes of identity and memory
He was awarded twice at Cannes Film Festival for his film * Dom Roberto*

From 1962 to 1987 he worked as curator and director of exhibitions in Portugal and abroad, promoting artistic innovation and fostering dialogue between artists from different cultures. He championed the cause of experimental cinema and supported young filmmakers eager to explore new creative horizons. His contribution to Portuguese art history is undeniable, leaving a lasting legacy that continues to inspire artists today.

He published extensively in magazines and newspapers since the 1940s, shaping artistic discourse and advocating for freedom of expression
His retrospective exhibitions *Itinerários* celebrated his multifaceted artistic journey and reaffirmed his commitment to promoting experimental art

Ester de Sousa e Sá passed away in Lisbon in 1988, leaving behind a rich body of work that embodies the spirit of experimentation and creativity. Her legacy lives on through her sculptures, films, writings, and the countless artists she mentored—a testament to her enduring influence on Portuguese art and culture.
