About this artwork

This original, deeply expressive mixed media portrait presents Madonna reimagined as a traditional Portuguese saint.

This work celebrates Portugal’s rich cultural heritage — from the vibrant traditional colours and detailed fabrics to the symbolic ‘Coração de Viana’ (The Heart of Portugal).

Every intricate detail honours Portuguese pride and culture, blending the sacred essence of biblical religious icons with a heartfelt connection to heritage. Inspired by the timeless grace of Portugal’s traditions and the biblical imagery that influenced Stanley Spencer, this piece is both a tribute and a celebration.
