FIGURATIVE PAINTINGS

Bodies, sculptural objects, that's what Julio Quaresma paints to make his canvas where anonymous faces seem to be playing an important role. Occasionally he indulges in wryly humorous works of fantasy, but is primarily a representational artist. Very much observant of extraordinary endeavour as to raise awareness towards the rights of minority groups, some of his works contain social commentary appealing to people's sense of justice. Throughout his adult life, Julio has been active in humanitarian work in Portugal.
