Painting Exhibition by Ilda Rito “Alentejo Meu – Imagens da Minha Terra”

The exhibition Alentejo Meu – Imagens da Minha Terra presents Ilda Rito’s painting in an intimate register about Alentejo, intertwining memory, a photographic gaze, and affection for the land portrayed.

The show opens with an inauguration at Museu Municipal de Santiago do Cacém and offers the public a set of images that extend, through painting, the artist’s visual sensibility and her emotional connection to the Alentejo territory. The presentation text highlights precisely this reading of the work as an extension of Ilda Rito’s trained eye, fixing in time images of the land she loves.
