“Stains” brings together a collection of works in which Mané Sousa explores the fluidity of color, the organic nature of gesture, and abstraction. Each painting emerges from the encounter between water, pigment, and impulse, revealing forms that seem to surface and dissolve within the same movement.

The stains—at times subtle, at times intense—evoke a range of emotions without ever settling into a single narrative, inviting the viewer’s gaze to complete what the artist only suggests. In this exhibition, pictorial matter becomes a territory of discovery, where the accidental and the intentional coexist, revealing the quiet poetics that define Mané Sousa’s visual universe.
