Jackson Pollock
28th January, 1912 (Wyoming, USA) – 11th August, 1956 (New York, USA)
Our boutique hotel, Torel Avantgarde, represents this artist from the Abstract Expressionism period in a Suite. Dark colors in your bedroom are associated with depression and alcoholism. He lived in a “dark world”, where he escaped through art, which is the opposite of that world – expressive and dynamic.
In the wall painting, Jorge Curval, the artist of the paintings of our hotels in Porto, represented the figure of Jackson Pollock painting using one of the techniques for which he is best known, the “drip and splatter” technique, an art form that avoids identifiable parts within the screen.

About The Artist...
Alberto Giacometti Was A Swiss Sculptor, Painter, Draftsman, And Engraver, Famous For His Sculptures.
As a surrealist in the 1930s, he created truly innovative sculptural forms, which sometimes resembled toys and games. As an existentialist, after the war he led the way in creating a style that epitomized philosophy’s interests in perception, alienation, and anxiety. He is remembered for his figurative work, which helped make the suffering human figure motif a popular symbol of post-war trauma.
Some of his Main Works:
Tall Figure
Spoon Woman
The Palace at 4 AM
Artistic Movements: Expressionism, Contemporary Art, Surrealism, Cubism, Modern Art.
“It is impossible to do a thing the way I see it because the closer I get the more differently I see.” – Alberto Giacometti
