Growing Pains
Tax included. Shipping calculated
"Growing Pains is part of a series of four paintings in which I was interested in focusing on the ground and the idea of walking on a path and, with that, what this path might be and the things we might encounter there. It plays with the idea of fire, of imminent danger and discomfort, while the figure just lies there peacefully, waiting and accepting this possibility. The stone next to her shoulder is symbolic of the emotional weight of this ambivalence."

Mafalda Figueiredo
Mafalda Figueiredo (b.1991, Lisbon) is a figurative painter. She graduated from the Fine Arts University of Lisbon in 2013 and has subsequently lived and worked in Berlin, London and recently Vienna where she's now based. Figueiredo’s work deals with the matter of identity: she’s interested in self-analysis and the communication between the subconscious and the conscious mind. Through figurative painting she aims to build a visual bridge between those two entities which allows her to process her personal experiences and document them. Her work deals with themes that reflect our present times: it raises questions about gender, femininity, individual fears caused by ancestral trauma and collective fears caused by an uncertainty about the future.
