maria pestana art gallery online intends to provide a commercial launch of the art works of selected international artists. Our intention is to promote young artists and less well known artists who have been chosen for their technical skills, personality or creative imagination. Also among our compromises is to present the artist to international competitions and prizes.

We offer to collectors personal consultancy services to assist them in developing their collections according to their special interests or in exploring new branches of contemporary art to begin collecting. In addition we firmly believe in promoting the excitement, pleasure and fascination of collecting art to a new generation of collectors and thus we offer advice and guidance all aspects of how to start, build and develop an art collection.

Lei Liang (China)

Lei Liang reflects in these paintings in the subject of contemporary Chinese painting. The artist confines to a style reflecting fanciful and poetic ideas that are part of Chinese tradition. Yet Lei Liang manages to remember the viewer that European tradition is present. Clearly the aim of Lei Liang's gardens is to involve us into an aesthetic experience rather than presenting a mere representation. To enjoy Liang's paintings the viewer must have in mind the notion of art as interpretation, and art as an aesthetic experience.

Lei Liang has widely exhibited at different locations in UK, Spain, USA, Korea, Tokyo, Australia and China.

“A painter is not an artist. The Artist has the ability to be arrogant and domineering following his inclinations, while painter can only be obedient and submissive. (…) My art reflects the eastern harmony and meditation philosophical concept. All the landscape and flowers are purely the symbols of harmony and the inner way to one's summit light. Audience will notice on my paintings the Red Sun over the universe. And we all people of different nations will meet there” (Lei Liang, 2009).
