Plaza de España – Original Oil Painting by Ferjo. Hand Signed 1 of 1. It is with great pleasure that we bring to auction an extraordinary and singular piece from the internationally renowned artist Fernando de Jesus Oliveira, affectionately known in the art world as Ferjo. His creation, "Plaza de España," is an original oil painting, demonstrating his unparalleled skill in blending the surreal with stretches of the real world. At 40 x 30 inches, "Plaza de España" is a sizable work that immerses the viewer into the vibrant atmosphere of one of Spain's most iconic architectural marvels. Hand signed by Ferjo, this piece is the only one of its kind, a true original that echoes the allure of Spanish culture with a twist of Ferjo's characteristic fantastical elements. Born in 1946, in Bahia, Brazil, Ferjo has carved a place for himself in the panorama of contemporary art, with a penchant for creating visual spectacles that bridge the real with the surreal. Plaza de España in Seville is a landmark renowned for its Renaissance/Neo-Moorish style and grandeur, and Ferjo's interpretation is both an homage and a reimagining of this historical site. The plaza, originally designed for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929, represents a pivotal moment in Spain's architectural history, symbolizing its regional pride and cultural renaissance. Ferjo's homage is hence layered with historical references, not only to his own artistic journey but also to the collective memory encapsulated in the site’s majestic aura.
