Virgílio Raposo was born in Lagos, Algarve 1955 and as lived his youth in Namib were he started painting.
An inward looking artist, Virgilio Raposo expresses in his work not only the beauty of the world we live in, but also, a serenity and infinity in the better purpose of man.
With a stunning personal interpretation full of character, his work shows a surprising quality and understanding of colour. This is even more surprising when one considers that his subject matter is usually the natural coast line of the Algarve, which, because of the strenght in actual light, is extremely hard to recapture on canvas.
