Brushstrokes of an Iconic Personality
Immerse yourself in the centenary life of José de Almeida Araújo, a visionary of the arts whose creative journey spanned various forms of artistic expression, from architecture to painting, sculpture and photography. Explore the biography of an artist who defied conventions and whose influence endures in contemporary art.
Pope's Recognition
One of the highest honors he received was from Pope John Paul II, in recognition of his work and the creation of “Pax et Amicitia”. This symbol, which combines the Cross and the Star of David in the form of a medal, represents an emblem of unity and harmony between Christians and Jews.
Experience an Unparalleled Legacy
To commemorate and recognize Almeida Araújo's work, Cascais is hosting an exhibition of paintings and photographs of everyday life on the streets of London in the 1950s, the “pre-Beatles era” (as he put it) in which he lived.
In this way, we reaffirm his artistic value, giving all those who visit the Cascais Cultural Center the chance to appreciate and learn from the creative enthusiasm of this stimulating cultivator of multiple arts.
