The exhibition "What if animals could talk?" is on display in Lisbon and presents works by painter João Paulo Faria Nunes (1928-2013). The show transforms the artist's paintings into little fables, where animals take on human behaviors and gain their own voice.
João Paulo Faria Nunes is the artist responsible for the exhibited works. In his paintings, animals become protagonists of little narratives, behaving like people and occupying the central role that would normally be reserved for humans.
The exhibition invites visitors to enter a universe where reality and fable intersect. The stories told through the paintings don't need words to be understood, functioning as visual narratives that the viewer can interpret.
The show is open to the public in Lisbon and proposes a reflection on the border between the real and the imaginary, using animals as vehicles to tell stories that transcend traditional representation.
