Mermaid II

"Mermaid" is a cherished piece born from a Portuguese seaside photograph, its final form emerging over decades of artistic evolution. Initially captured with traditional techniques, this work transcends time through intricate layers of digital manipulation and collage. Blending pre-digital mastery with advanced digital methods, every ripple and contour transforms the raw photograph into a dreamlike vision. The ethereal figure of the young girl—now a grandmother—seems to dissolve into the waves, embodying memory, time, and the quiet flow of life. A story of patience and transformation, this piece is both a technical achievement and an emotional connection across generations.
