Ainda me parece difícil acreditar que o Vítor Matias já não está entre nós. Tive a grande sorte de o conhecer pessoalmente, pois era um grande amigo dos meus pais. Tenho a sorte de possuír alguns dos seus quadros, mas sinto-me ainda mais privilegiada por me ter sido dada a oportunidade de o ver pintar - parecia tudo tão incrivelmente fácil...
Viveu uma vida cheia, por vezes difícil (passou pela guerra em África), mas penso poder dizer que foi, globalmente, uma vida boa. E que vai deixar saudades a muitos. Morreu este Sábado, aos 73 anos.
Conhecia o nosso país a palmo, e isso nota-se na sua pintura. Podem ver mais trabalhos dele na sua página da internet, clicando aqui.
I still find it hard to believe that Vítor Matias is no longer among us. I was lucky enough to have known him personally, because he was a good friend of my parents. I am lucky enough to own some of his paintings but I am even more privileged to have been given the chance to watch him paint - it all seemed so incredibly easy...
He lived a rich, sometimes hard (he fought the war in Africa), but I dare say an overall good life and he will be missed by many. He died this Saturday, at the age of 73.
He knew our country well, from north to south and that shows in his work. Please visit his website so that you can see more of his great work here.
