about the artist

Light plays a powerful role in shaping the emotional layers of our newest artist Rita Matos' work. In her work she explores the notions of accumulation and disappearance with light guiding her - illuminating the subtleties of colour, texture, and form that transform with each layer.

the story

‘Mist Through the Pines’ is part of Rita’s series Love Letters - a body of work where each painting becomes an individual ode to the small, fleeting moments she longs for. In Portuguese, there is a word for this feeling - saudade - a quiet ache for something you may not fully have, yet deeply believe would bring a brief jolt of happiness.

Here, that longing takes the form of mist drifting through pine trees. breathing in the cool, resin-scented air. The painting invites us to pause - to imagine ourselves there, standing still, taking it all in.
