Abstract(s)
El universo pictórico de la pintora portuguesa Graça Morais (n. 1948) se construye a partir de una
mirada meditativa sobre el ser humano y su condición en el mundo. En este proceso, la territorialidad constituye
un elemento de identificación y de identidad fundamental, ya sea una territorialidad física, relacionada con la
conexión de la pintora con los lugares que habita o visita, ya sea una territorialidad intangible, vinculada a los
recuerdos e historias que alimentan su imaginación. En este artículo se evocan tres fases de la producción de
Graça Morais, correspondientes a investigaciones en diferentes espacios geográficos (Vieiro, Cabo Verde,
Sines) y que se aproximan metodológicamente a los procesos de observación y recolección antropológica,
que la artista adapta creativamente para cuestionar todo lo que la rodea. Veremos cómo su obra se desarrolla
en una continua expansión territorial e identitaria, que parte de su pueblo natal en Trás-os-Montes y se
complementa con sus experiencias de movimiento y descubrimiento del mundo.
The pictorial universe of the Portuguese painter Graça Morais (b. 1948) is built from a meditative gaze upon the human being and its condition in the world. In this process, territoriality is a fundamental element —whether it is a physical (geographic) territoriality, related to the painter’s connection to the places she lives in and visits or where she settles, or an intangible territoriality, linked to the memories and stories that feed her imaginary. This paper focuses on three phases of Graça Morais’ oeuvre, corresponding to her researches in different geographic places (Vieiro [northeast of Portugal], Cape Verde, Sines [southwest coast of Portugal]). One can see, on one hand, how Morais’ work approaches to anthropologic research, in a methodology that the artist adapts to question everything around her; on the other hand, how her work evolves into a continuous territorial and identitary expansion, which departs from Morais’ home village in Trás-os-Montes, and is reinforced by her experiences traveling and discovering the world.
