This is my painting — about the house and garden of Lourdes Castro

Público14 September 2026 at 17:07

The possibility of the sale of the house and garden of Lourdes Castro is at stake, being presented by the author Catarina Mourão as a question concerning a work of art — the last work of one of the greatest Portuguese artists.

Catarina Mourão writes as the author of an opinion on this situation, positioning herself on the cultural and artistic meaning that the preservation of this space represents.

Lourdes Castro is identified as one of the greatest Portuguese artists, whose house and garden constitute, according to the author, an extension of her artistic production and a testament to her creative legacy.

The central issue concerns the preservation versus sale of this space, which the author considers not merely a property, but an integral part of the work and artistic memory of Lourdes Castro.

Why this matters

The potential sale of Lourdes Castro's house in Madeira represents the threat of loss of a significant cultural space, as the house and garden are described as the artist's last work and testimony to her creative journey. Readers in the region are affected as a cultural community that may lose unique artistic heritage from a major figure in Portuguese art.

Gulf countries postpone negotiations on the Strait of Hormuz

The Gulf countries postponed a meeting with Iran to discuss the future of the Strait of Hormuz, suspending sine die a proposed agreement for a temporary commercial navigation route. The postponement was due to the lack of consensus among the Arab monarchies and Saudi Arabia's irritation at Tehran's support for Houthi attacks in Yemen, a divided territory where the rebels advanced and took control of the Bab al-Mandab strait. The Houthis continue to launch missile and drone attacks against Saudi military and energy targets, including King Khalid Air Base, while Iran-backed militias in Iraq forced Riyadh to close an essential oil pipeline. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman met with US Central Command to discuss the regional situation, suggesting that Saudi Arabia may request American military support.
