About

This exhibition marks the Centenary of the Birth of my Father, Doctor Leonel Augusto de Almeida Abrantes (1920-2020), with a special connection to Serra da Estrela, which he researched and wrote about.

In this collective exhibition, “O sortilégio da Serra da Estrela”, taking place at Galeria Porto Oriental, from 4 December 2020 to 27 March 2021, it shows Drawing, Painting and Sculpture.

In the exhibition, “O sortilégio da Serra da Estrela”, 26 works by 26 artists can be admired, with different paths, ages, sensitivities and languages.

The Serra that fascinates us, really or symbolically, enable us here another enchantment and emotion, in the contemplation not of «the mountain in the distance in all its magnitude», by Vergílio Ferreira, but of the works of art exhibited at Galeria Porto Oriental that refer to it, whatever the perspective of each artist and the chosen language, technique and visual expression.
