One of the paintings Sonia created during her joyful stay in Vila de Conde in northern Portugal. There, the light was kind to her art. Sonia wrote, “The light of Portugal was not violent, but exalted every color.” Sonia was inspired by the many intense colors found in the peasants’ houses, clothing, food and ceramics. She also liked the straight, planar lines used in the Portuguese architecture. In this painting, Sonia freed herself from formal arrangement. The placement of colors and shapes is quite haphazard.
