CCC's Street Art Contest #253 "S&D - European Pillar of Social Rights" - Tamara Alves - Porto, Portugal [Eng-Pt]
Welcome to another post in the Street Art community!
Good afternoon, friends of street art!
Today I want to share with you another piece of work that is located in one of the arteries of Portugal's second largest city. I'm talking about Porto, a city full of history and with a great tradition of welcoming visitors. Many of you have told me that you'd like to visit this city one day, just like @littlebee4, but some of you already know it well (right, @heroldius?).
I'm going to unveil another work located on Rua de Fernandes Tomás, which is very close to Rua do Bonjardim, where I presented the work of the artist Costah the previous week (link).
Tamara Alves was born in 1983 and is a Portuguese artist who graduated in Arts and took a Master's degree in Contemporary Artistic Practices at the University of Fine Arts, University of Porto. She currently lives in Lisbon, and her particular interest has always focused on the aesthetics of the street, and its involvement and urban context. She has always enjoyed showing her work and exhibiting it not in galleries, but on the streets. This is not her only activity.
One of the main ways he communicates his concerns is through his art. Through it he is able to express his concerns. Her works become true odes to symbolism, invoking in us, mere spectators, more than just a passive posture, but also making us attentive to the issues she considers most important.
In her work, she often uses the human figure in conjunction with some animals. The main figure at the center of her work is the woman, as the seat of all her inspiration and the source of life.
About this work, the artist herself shared these words on her Facebook post:
"WE BLOOM AS ONE
I was invited to create a mural whose theme was the European Pillar of Social Rights for the Oporto European Summit.
I feel privileged to be able to leave a little bit of myself in the city of Porto, where I lived for a few years and in which I always feel at home.
I wanted to evoke unity, freedom and fraternity. We are one, like a twine or a garland, intertwined in a hug, a support, offering a flower ... reaching a hand.
Flowers simbolize the inner evolution, the long path that the human being goes through. This evolution goes side by side with taking care of this flower, taking care of each other, taking care of ourselves. We are one."
I hope you enjoyed my sharing of this week's CCC Street Art Contest #253
Cheers🍀
Bem-vindos a mais uma publicação para a Comunidade Street Art!
Boa tarde, amigos da arte de rua!
Hoje quero aqui partilhar com vocês mais um trabalho que se localiza numa das artérias da segunda maior cidade de Portugal. Falo-vos do Porto, uma cidade cheia de história e com uma grande tradição de bem receber que a visita. Muitos de vocês já me disseram que gostavam de um dia conhecer esta cidade, tal como a @littlebee4, mas alguns de vós até já a conhecem bem (certo, @heroldius?).
Vou desvendar mais uma obra que está localizada na Rua de Fernandes Tomás que fica bem próxima da Rua do Bonjardim da qual apresentei trabalho do artista Costah na semana anterior (ligação).
Tamara Alves nasceu em 1983, é uma artista portuguesa que se formou em Artes e que tirou o Mestrado em Práticas Artísticas Contemporâneas na Universidade de Belas Artes da Universidade do Porto. Actualmente reside em Lisboa, e o seu particular interesse sempre se focou na estética da rua, e no seu envolvimento e contexto urbano. Desde sempre que gostou de mostrar o seu trabalho e de o expor não em galerias, mas nas ruas. Não sendo essa a sua unica actividade.
Uma das suas principais formas de comunicar as suas preocupações é de facto através da sua arte. Por ela consegue exprimir as suas preocupações. Tornado as suas obras verdadeiras odes à um simbolismo, que nos invoca em nós, meros espetactadores mais do que apenas uma postura passiva, mas acabando por nos tornar também atentos aos assuntos que ela considera mais importantes.
Nos seus trabalhos, frequentemente utiliza a figura humana em conjugação mesmo com alguns animais. A sua primordial figura central dos seus trabalhos é a mulher, como sede de toda a sua inspiração e a fonte da vida.
Acerca deste trabalho, a própria artista partilhou estas palavras na sua publicação do Facebook:
"Para marcar a cimeira do Porto fui convidada a elaborar um mural em alusão ao Pilar Europeu dos Direitos Sociais.
Sinto-me privilegiada por poder deixar um pouco de mim na cidade do Porto, onde vivi durante alguns anos e na qual me sinto sempre em casa.
Queria transmitir a união, a liberdade e a fraternidade. Somos um, como um fio de cordel ou uma grinalda, entrelaçados mim abraço, um apoio, dando uma flor... dando a mão.
As flores são a evolução interior pelo longo caminho que o ser humano percorre. Esta evolução é marcada com o cuidado desta flor, cuidando uns dos outros, cuidado de nós próprios. Somos um.
Obrigada @socialistsanddemocrats pelo convite.
A @cm_porto._ e a todos os envolvidos!"
Espero que tenham gostado desta minha partilha desta semana a contar para o CCC's Street Art Contest #253

Hi @xrayman, happy Sunday. Enjoying this exquisite work of urban art that you share with us, of this famous representative of the art of your country. It is a mural that transmits me a great sensitivity and with it is an invitation to introspective reflexivity, as congeners who live and converge daily. We are hybridism and mixture, there emerges the essence that nourishes and unites us in diversity. It is an invitation to understand the balance that must be conquered between ipseity and otherness. It is a work full of details very well cared for by the author, among them the colors that transmit energies, but also emotions and sensations. It is to represent our human nature intertwined and linked with the social. Thank you for sharing it and allowing me to travel to your country through this exquisite and memorable art. Health and wellness, happy week !HUG
