Animal Rescue Algarve (ARA) Charity Fundraising Event
Read more ...
Animal Rescue Algarve (ARA) is a registered charity association
in the Algarve, Portugal. Our principal objective is to rescue lost and
abandoned animals and rehabilitate them for adoption.
We pride ourselves in having one of the best animal shelters
in Portugal, with environmentally friendly kennels that can accommodate up to
100 dogs and a cattery for up to 50 cats,
Every animal receives exceptional veterinary care, sterilization & microchip. Every
dog is walked twice a day and spends the rest of the day playing freely in one
of the many playgrounds, in order to encourage socialization with other dogs
and people.
To run the shelter, it costs more than 700,000€ a year and without
any government funding, our only source of income is from our three charity shops
(Wooff), or from the general public.
We are holding our annual fundraising event this year on November 8th at Sandbanks Restaurant in Vale do Lobo, Algarve, Portugal .

Artist:Marta Lourenço (Portuguese)
Medium: Giclée print on paper
Dimensions: 420 × 594 mm (A2)
Edition: Open (artist print, rolled for shipping)
Provenance: The artist.
Awards: Winner, Sovereign Portuguese Student Art Prize 2024; Global Judges’ Prize, Sovereign Art Foundation Global Students Prize 2025.
Description
Olhar (Look) is the award-winning print by emerging Portuguese artist Marta Lourenço, celebrated for its emotive intensity and technical precision. Drawing inspiration from the pixelated, grid-based portraits of American artist Chuck Close, Lourenço reconstructs the human face through a matrix of color and pattern, balancing digital precision with painterly warmth.
The subject, Maryam, meets the viewer with a gaze both powerful and unsettling — a child’s eyes reflecting the loss of innocence in times of conflict. As the artist writes:
“Maryam’s gaze speaks volumes… a gaze that should reflect dreams and happiness now reflects uncertainty and dread… her childlike glow has faded… and her childhood is fading… War is a choice for those who will not fight in it.”
Exhibited as part of the Sovereign Art Foundation’s Global Students Prize, Olhar was selected from among finalists in 13 international student art prizes, marking Lourenço as one of Europe’s most promising young voices in contemporary figurative art.

Description
In *Duende*, Jorge Queiroz immerses the viewer in a liminal dreamscape where the conscious and unconscious intertwine. The composition—alive with organic forms, abstract gestures, and fleeting figures—captures the artist’s unique blend of figuration and abstraction. Evoking surreal landscapes and psychological states, *Duende* exemplifies Queiroz’s exploration of metamorphosis, memory, and poetic dissonance.
The term *duende*, borrowed from Lorca’s writings on art, denotes a raw, soulful energy that moves beyond technical mastery—a fitting title for Queiroz’s fluid, intuitive process.
Artist Bio
Jorge Queiroz (b. 1966, Lisbon, Portugal) is one of Portugal’s foremost contemporary painters, celebrated for his evocative and dreamlike imagery.
His work has been exhibited internationally at the Venice Biennale (2003), São Paulo Biennale (2004), Berlin Biennial (2006), and Rennes Biennial (2016).
Institutional exhibitions include the Centre Pompidou, Palais de Tokyo, MUDAM, Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian, Serralves Museum, Boijmans Van Beuningen and the FRAC network.
Represented by Bruno Marias Gallery, Queiroz continues to expand his exploration of polarity and metamorphosis—where sense meets nonsense, and imagination finds tangible form.
The winning value will be split 50/50 between ARA and the Sovereign Art Foundation.
