Com um olhar sensível, esta série de pequenas pinturas revela a atenta observação de Miguel Afa sobre a relação entre luz e cor. Durante sua residência em Roma, o artista percorreu diferentes lugares em momentos do dia, transformando suas observações em pinturas que exploram paisagens e arquiteturas em atmosferas sinestésicas. Cada obra resulta do encontro entre esses elementos e o olhar do artista, a partir de sua experiência de perceber a luz, que transforma a forma como vemos os espaços, os edifícios e a própria natureza.
Afa observou o sol se pôr no jardim (Giardino degli Aranci), quando a paisagem foi tomada por uma luz intensa e dramática. Ao desaparecer no horizonte, o sol projetava uma luminosidade alaranjada sobre as árvores, criando uma atmosfera de despedida do dia. O jardim, com suas árvores e espaços, parecia absorver essa luz quente, tornando-se parte do espetáculo do entardecer.

[With a sensitive gaze, this series of small paintings reveals Miguel Afa’s attentive observation of the interaction between light and color. During his residency in Rome, the artist walked through different places at various times of the day, transforming his observations into paintings that evoke landscapes and architecture within synesthetic atmospheres. Each work results from the encounter between these elements and the artist’s sensibility, shaped by his experience of perceiving light—an experience that transforms the way we see spaces, buildings, and nature itself.
Afa observed the sun setting in the garden (Giardino degli Aranci), when the landscape was immersed in an intense and dramatic light. As it disappeared on the horizon, the sun cast an orange glow over the trees, creating an atmosphere of the day’s farewell. The garden, with its trees and open spaces, seemed to absorb this warm light, becoming part of the spectacle of the sunset.]
