About this artwork
This enchanting oil painting on canvas captures the timeless beauty of Porto's famous port with exceptional attention to detail and artistic sensitivity. The work depicts the iconic scenery of the Douro River with the characteristic rabelo boats in the foreground—those traditional transport vessels that for centuries brought the precious port wine from the Douro Valley to the city. The masterful composition, with its perfect sense of depth, displays… a balanced interplay between realism and painterly interpretation. The artist has rendered the precise depiction of Vila Nova de Gaia's historic architecture in warm, Mediterranean palettes of harmonious earth tones, documenting this UNESCO World Heritage Site in all its splendor. The terraced, colorful houses rise from the riverbank, forming the distinctive silhouette that has made Porto world-famous. The imposing monastery on the hilltop adds further depth to the composition.
Claudia Luethi, alias Abdelghafar, is a painter and draftsman trained in Zurich and London, working primarily with oil on canvas and velvet. She combines realistic, impressionistic, and expressionist styles, using layered techniques to create a fascinating, almost lifelike 3D effect. She deliberately avoids preliminary drawings to allow her creativity to flow freely. Her works capture the soul of animals with a masterful eye and transport viewers to a positive, colorful world where time and everyday life disappear.
