Critical notes
The Poem of the Sea
This engraving by Humberto Marçal is part of a series that was on display at the CPS Gallery at CCB with the title: The Sea Poem. Humberto Marcedil;al, Master of Portuguese engraving, reached the zenith of existence in an incessant dialogue with the image, of which he is the author. He is a great creator, extracting from paper the sparkles of an alchemy that returns it to the gold of a perenniality that belongs to the gaze. The artist's gift transforms the paper support into an ocean that goes beyond its limits. An ocean that has the colors and light of a rainbow palette that acquires an energy and a spell from the sphere of the marvelous. Humberto Marçal, in this superb series of intervened engravings, offers us a legacy that unites Life and Art in an inseparable and magical link.
