All Together

Garagens Edifício Inovação

Each of the works has been painted taking into account that each of them is the reception when people park and prepare for a day of work and are also the last image they see in Taguspark when they say goodbye to their place of work to return home to their homes.

Alvorada

Edifícios Inovação: Building 2.1

“Alvorada” celebrates the dawn of the day. The first rays of sunshine appear, waking those who were asleep and feeding those who were already on foot. It is a new beginning, the sailors walk towards the carousel of which they are a part. Bats, on the other hand, are recognizing the sad reality. Is this the end of their day?

Anjo Futurista

Jardins Edifícios Qualidade

The sculpture entitled Futurist Angel, has as its main inspiration the steampunk style and as a reference the aesthetic popularized in the movie Mad Max.

It is notorious the allusion and apology to the machine or to the industry, either by the use of raw iron or representation of a kind of vehicle. These are combined in symbiosis with the human body and nature.

A perfect, angelic and necessary fusion for a less adverse future for humanity. It is urgent to take flight.

In this work, despite an aesthetic mostly simplified through essential planes that define a body. Jaime de Carvalho does not abandon the common denominator of his artistic career, that is, the use of realism and the human figure, to communicate more objectively with the spectator.

Biophilia 2.0

Jardins Edifícios Qualidade

Biophilia is an innate and natural affinity of life or living systems.

In this public space is created a temple surrounded by domesticated nature and urban space, this organic body consisting of metal bones, light and air, contemplates the surrounding landscape, a womb made from the extraction of iron and sand. These elements are transformed, by high temperature, into metal, glass, electricity and smoke. Here grows a new biosphere, an altar that breathes, a place reserved for contemplation, nourishment and reconnection and with our own biophilia, innate and natural ability to establish affinity with life and all living systems.

Bust of Nelson Mandela
Clo Bourgard

Praça Nelson Mandela

This sculpture is an artistic tribute to Nelson Mandela’s fundamental contribution to the defence of freedom. The sculpture, a huge mirrored head two meters high, rises from the ground as if it were a ‘captured voice’, declaring to the heavens a fundamental principle – Man is a free Being!

This work, in addition to representing Mandela, also mirrors the observer. There is a purposeful fusion in this work. Mandela’s head seeks to awaken our attention to adverse realities, inside and outside our social and cultural circle, to our place in society. So that we can continue Madiba’s “struggle” – justice, racial inclusion and equal opportunities – with the head being the expression of historical memory and its (external) reflection from the mirrored matter, from everything that exists around it.

Bust of Yuri Gagarin and Vostok 1

Jardins do Edificio Qualidade C

Bust of Yuri Gagarin

Born on March 9, 1934, Yuri Gagarin became the planet’s first cosmonaut when on April 12, 1961 he embarked on the first trip to space in human history. Yuri was so passionate about flying that he died when, in 1968 on a training flight, the jet he was riding with his flight instructor Vladimir Seregin crashed.

The bust offered by the International Charitable Foundation “The Dialogue of Cultures – the United World” and the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Portugal, serves as a tribute to the 60th Anniversary of the first human spaceflight and represents the friendship between the Peoples of Russia and Portugal.

Vostok 1

This was the probe where Yuri Gagarin completed the first spaceflight, smaller compared to the probes currently used. It was this ship that, for the first time in the history of the planet, allowed humans to go into space safely.

The creative concept of this piece was thought by Eduardo Correia – CEO of Taguspark, S.A. and Ana Figueiredo of Infinity, a company that focuses its work on innovation and passion for art.
