"Raquel Gralheiro will be an ironist who works on a certain threshold of taste to problematize the relationship between art and decor. Her canvases, excessive and provocative, are always the way of representing the figure as an element to contrast with several patterns, like someone living on the wallpaper, in the sofa pattern, on the poster.
The idea of excess, due to the infinity of details and chromatic profusion, is key to the interpretation of the critical tendency that characterizes what this painter does.
It ends up working as a clear criticism of the objectification of the individual, to the objectification of women, directly implicating her with the question of superficial pose and adornment. The woman is far beyond the expected, is under layers and layers of acculturation that mask her and create a complex meaning in what she can still reveal naturally. "
