love this
yeah, this was great. I think my favorite is Corneliu Baba, and I can't believe I've never seen his stuff before. Gotta go look for more!
Thanks a lot for the kind words!
David, you can see some of his works on the link below, unfortunately without titles and the quality is not great -

Congratulations! Vieira da Silva is a very well known portuguese painter, still "not very known" abroad. It's a bautiful choice!
