"Blooming Route" by Yvonne Robert
28.09.2024 ------> 04.01.2025
Yvonne Robert’s "Blooming Route" exhibition is a visual celebration of the lush flora of the Ria Formosa Natural Park, in Faro. Known for her intuitive, gestural, and abstract approach, the artist presents a more concrete and figurative perspective in this series. The natural beauty is captured here through brushstrokes that reflect her spontaneous fascination with the uniqueness of the plants, chosen randomly and instinctively. While creating, Yvonne follows the natural movement of the plants, as if immersed in their rhythm. Her keen and engaging eye allows her to capture every detail, shape, and colour, transforming them into free compositions that reflect her personal connection to nature.
This exhibition invites visitors to embark on a sensory experience, where each work offers a unique and stimulating interpretation of the Ria Formosa’s flora. Blooming Route, more than just a painting exhibition, is an immersion into the artist’s passion for capturing and conveying the vibrancy and vitality of nature through her art.
The works presented are the result of the artist’s residency at GAMA RAMA, as part of the BlueTour project, an initiative of the European Union under the Creative Europe program. This project aims to promote sustainable tourism and enhance cultural and environmental heritage in coastal cities of the Mediterranean.
