In Surreal Portraits, Rafael Silveira Tends to the Garden of Consciousness
Briefly

Rafael Silveira's upcoming exhibition, "Agricultura Cósmica," showcases surreal portraits that blend human features with landscapes and flowers, reflecting the mysterious elements of the subconscious. His artworks, predominantly in oil, challenge traditional portraiture by replacing skin with nature's elements like coral or distant horizons. The gallery describes his approach as imagining the mind as a garden where thoughts bloom like wildflowers, highlighting both humor and a slightly sinister undertone. The exhibition will run from June 12 to July 10 in London, concurrently with another artwork showcase.
