Lot description

A striking Art Deco style oil on canvas painting by Contemporary Brazilian artist Valter Morais, featuring a stylized female portrait rendered in a manner reminiscent of Patrick Nagel. The composition presents a close-up of a womans face with sharply defined features, almond-shaped green eyes, bold red lips, and flowing black hair set against a gradient gray background. The work embodies a minimalist yet highly graphic aesthetic, with clean lines and a restrained color palette that enhances the subject's enigmatic allure. Morais's diverse talents range from Pop Art to Caribbean landscapes, portraits, and hyper-realism. His works are featured in galleries and collections worldwide, including a portrait of Princess Anne displayed in Buckingham Palace. He has also received awards for his Pop Art style in Brazil during the early 1970s. Additionally, Morais is active in charity work, having had pieces commissioned by brands like Absolut Vodka, with his works auctioned to support research in AIDS, children's cancer, and Parkinson's disease. ?Signed by the artist in the lower right. On verso, signature and medium. Artist: Valter Morais (Brazilian, b. 1948) Issued: c. 1980 Dimensions: 36.25"L x 24.25"H Country of Origin: Brazil
