Acrílico sobre tela - Acrylic on canvas

Alguma história sobre esta representação: A arquitectura tradicional do Algarve tem uma acentuada influência árabe, onde predominam as casas pintadas de branco (outrora caiadas – o que ainda se faz no Alentejo), os telhados feitos com telhas mouriscas, açoteias, platibandas decoradas com cores apelativas e as chaminés. Mas não há dúvida que são as chaminés que são o “ex libris" do Algarve. Simultaneamente úteis e decorativas, mais ou menos elaboradas, quadradas ou rectangulares, cilíndricas ou prismáticas, as chaminés algarvias são um símbolo inequívoco da ocupação mourisca ao longo de cinco séculos. Muitas delas até se assemelham a pequenas torres ou minaretes árabes. Dizem os mais velhos que outrora não existiam duas chaminés iguais porque a decoração de cada uma delas poderia depender, não só dos dias em que eram construídas, como também das possibilidades financeiras dos seus proprietários. E até se tornou um elemento de despique: quem tinham posses fazia sempre uma chaminé mais elaborada do que a do vizinho. Hoje podem não ser tão elaboradas e existirem muitas iguais, mas o certo é que continuam a ser o "ex libris" do Algarve. Nesta aguarela represento então uns belos exemplares de Quarteira.
