Manuel Rodrigues Almeida universe has no characters, although the subject, but feelings and senses, in some cases, broad sense and restricted. Without context or scenario, each subject, in a size close to the scale of the spectator, invites you to the construction of a single story. The other dimension, the aim of this author born in Viana do Castelo, which impresses us is the technique, material and support. Pastel on wood, pastel on canvas. The difficulty in the difficult exercise of gathering has a realism of hyper-realistic and/or photographic sensitivity.
