“TERRA DA LUZ” - a Contemporary Art Exhibition on Earth, Matter and Light

“Terra da Luz” brings together ceramics, sculpture, painting and design objects in a quiet exploration of earth, matter and light.

Set within the luminous landscape of Comporta, the exhibition reflects on transformation through material, texture and form. Clay lies at its core, while the abstract paintings of Alex Kuznetsov introduce a complementary language of surface, rhythm and spatial depth.

Together, the works create a contemplative dialogue where earth becomes art, material becomes memory, and light reveals the quiet beauty of form.

@centro.comporta thank you so much for welcoming me!! 🥰

It was such a joy to guide the Terra Flow in that space, surrounded by powerful works of art. Honouring them through the art of movement felt truly special.

Deep gratitude to everyone who joined this event and made it even more meaningful. Here’s to many more moments like this together! 💛 taken in Comporta, Setubal, Portugal by @centro.comporta

Introducing: Jacira Da Conceição (b. 1990, Cape Verde) lives and works between Cape Verde and Montemor-o-Novo, Portugal.

Jacira Da Conceição is an artist and researcher whose practice spans ceramics, textiles, and found objects. Rooted in Cape Verdean traditions and Afro-descendant knowledge, her work explores nature, spirituality, femininity, and materiality. Through ceramics, she forges a physical and symbolic link with the land, using elemental forces and circular forms that evoke the female body and cycles of life. Conceição sees clay as a living body and a vessel of connection, describing the pot as a communal object that unites people through the shared earth. In her own words: “The pot is a place that unites people, that passes from hand to hand, made of earth, the same earth that carries us.”

—————————————————————————————

Jacira Da Conceição é artista e investigadora cuja prática abrange cerâmica, têxteis e objetos encontrados. Enraizada nas tradições cabo-verdianas e nos saberes afrodescendentes, a sua obra explora a natureza, a espiritualidade, a feminilidade e a materialidade. Através da cerâmica, estabelece uma ligação física e simbólica com a terra, trabalhando com forças elementares e formas circulares que evocam o corpo feminino e os ciclos da vida. Conceição entende o barro como um corpo vivo e um recipiente de ligação, descrevendo o pote como um objeto comunitário que une as pessoas através da terra partilhada. Nas suas próprias palavras: “O pote é um lugar que une as pessoas, que passa de mão em mão, feito de terra, a mesma terra que nos carrega.”

Ar (2022)
Ceramic and engobes
185cm

“Ar,” meaning “air” in Portuguese, evokes movement and fluidity, qualities also present in @daconceicaojacira ‘s sculpture. The artwork, organic in its form and colour, is composed of circular shapes, echoed in various configurations across the composition. The circle as a shape also imitates the movement of air; it is inherently cyclical and circular in motion, whether in the vast loops of atmospheric circulation or in the intimate rhythm of the human body. The circle, a symbol of femininity and unity, resonates in “Ar,” its curves recalling the body of a woman. In this way, the sculpture not only mirrors organic forms but also reflects the cyclical, interconnected forces that sustain existence.

———————————————————————

O ar, enquanto elemento, evoca movimento e fluidez, qualidades também presentes na escultura de @daconceicaojacira . A obra, orgânica na sua forma e cor, é composta por formas circulares, ecoadas em várias configurações ao longo da composição. O círculo, enquanto forma, imita também o movimento do ar; é intrinsecamente cíclico e circular no seu movimento, seja nos vastos circuitos da circulação atmosférica ou no ritmo íntimo do corpo humano. O círculo, símbolo de feminilidade e de unidade, ressoa em “Ar”, as suas curvas recordando o corpo de uma mulher. Desta forma, a escultura não apenas espelha formas orgânicas, mas também reflete as forças cíclicas e interligadas que sustentam a existência. by @centro.comporta

René Tavares
African Garden (2023)
Pigment, acrylic and oil on Chinese rice paper
232 cm x 348 cm

In “African Garden”, René Tavares created a polyptych of blooming cotton flowers that, at first glance, captivate with their delicate, organic shapes, and gestural brushstrokes. Yet beyond their beauty lies a deeper cultural and historical weight. The flowers, fragmented and framed, allude to the violent legacy of cotton, a crop tied to slavery and among the most exploitative commodities in human history. Harvesting cotton created strong physical distress, as workers were forced into constant bending and exposed to cuts from the sharp, hardened pericarps of the bolls. By presenting the cotton bolls untouched yet framed, Tavares transforms them into charged symbols, being potent reminders of suffering, resilience, and the turbulent histories that continue to shape the present.

—————————————————————————————

Em “African Garden”, Rene Tavares criou um políptico de flores de algodão em flor que, à primeira vista, cativam pelas suas formas delicadas, orgânicas e pelas pinceladas gestuais. No entanto, para além da sua beleza, esconde-se um peso cultural e histórico mais profundo. As flores, fragmentadas e emolduradas, aludem ao legado violento do algodão, uma cultura ligada à escravatura e entre as mais exploratórias da história da humanidade. A colheita do algodão gerava um forte desgaste físico, pois os trabalhadores eram forçados a constantes inclinações e expostos a cortes provocados pelos pericarpos endurecidos e afiados dos capulhos. Ao apresentar os capulhos de algodão intactos mas emoldurados, Tavares transforma-os em símbolos carregados, potentes lembretes de sofrimento, resiliência e das turbulentas histórias que continuam a moldar o presente.

Introducing: René Tavares (b. 1983, São Tomé and Príncipe) lives and works in Lisbon, Portugal.

René Tavares is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice is rooted in painting and expanded through photography, video, and installation. He investigates identity, memory, and post-colonial legacies within African contexts. Drawing on archival, ancestral, and contemporary references, the artist creates layered figurative works that capture intimate rituals and collective histories, often engaging the viewer through direct gazes. His compositions reflect the complex relationship between land and people, questioning neglected legacies of violence and disruption. Across evolving series, Tavares bridges geographies and cultures, challenging fixed categories while advocating resilience and social empowerment.

—————————————————————————————

René Tavares é um artista multidisciplinar cuja prática tem raiz na pintura e se expande pela fotografia, vídeo e instalação. Investiga questões de identidade, memória e legados pós-coloniais em contextos africanos. Recorre a referências arquivísticas, ancestrais e contemporâneas para criar obras figurativas estratificadas que captam rituais íntimos e histórias coletivas, envolvendo frequentemente o espectador através de olhares diretos. As suas composições refletem a relação complexa entre a terra e as pessoas, questionando legados esquecidos de violência e rutura. Ao longo de séries em evolução, Tavares cruza geografias e culturas, desafiando categorias fixas e defendendo a resiliência e o empoderamento social.
