LAB ART PRIZE - MILAN 2026
Paula Nicolau Portugal Painting

Artwork title : Sea Foam on the Shore

"Sea Foam on the Shore" focuses on the moment water flows over the shore: part is absorbed, while the rest retreats. The work centers on this process of fusion and recession, specifically the foam at the end of the wave. Like other works by the artist, it is a reflection on the shifting frontiers where water meets the shore, mirroring all boundaries—including those drawn by humans. They are not merely points of separation, but fragile, active places of merging.
The artist studies the fleetingness and fragility of boundaries, and the repetition of patterns (designs, geometries, conflicts, and fusions) across distinct scales.
