AUTHOR
António Domingos was born in Porto in 1957.Degree in Painting from the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Porto (FBAUP).
He dedicates himself to Painting and Photography , in parallel with his teaching activity and poetic performance.
Since 1978 he has participated in several collective exhibitions and had some solo shows of his works, both painting and photography.
In his work he has been exploring the limits of minimal painting, basing the composition of all his works in the division of the rectangle by lines derived from the “golden ratio”.
Two symmetrical rectangles are a doorway to a sometimes mysterious, silent space. The magic alchemy of colour fills with texture the static and rigid framework.
