AS MULHERES ANJOS About Francisco Simões, Urbano Tavares Rodrigues said in a beautiful text: “In love with line, color, shape, this sculptor and painter who is a great artist. He is also passionate about literature and especially poetry, and has recreated today's woman(s) by stylizing them. Evas of our consumerist, cybernetic, contradictory world, where as there is two millennia, in the midst of frustrations and struggles, of dreams and wonders, Eros reigns.” If women inspire the powerful forms of the artist's sculpture, in his drawings it is The Matissean purification that is asserted, a lightness where the mastery of form characteristic of the sculptor's mastery nevertheless shines through. In this engraving, the angel and the female figure unite their imaginary, to the point of view of the image. The sensual sweetness of the body's lines responds to the secret, nocturnal halo of the wings that accentuates the mystery of the image.
