Artist Fernão Cruz delves into the world of his sculpture ‘Skeleton without purpose’ (2021), part of the exhibition ‘Scheherazade, the Never-ending Collection of CAM’.
In this personal perspective, a close connection is revealed: his work engages with the striking presence of Paula Rego’s ‘Angel’ – an artist who inspires him deeply.
Between tensions and affinities, a silent conversation
emerges between two works that you don’t want to miss.
