On March 21, the Nicolau Nasoni Gallery will open a new exhibition space at Rua do Rosário 100, strengthening its presence in the city’s art scene and continuing its work to promote contemporary Portuguese artists.

The opening will be marked by the exhibition *Flamma Vitae*, which brings together works by Rafael Oliveira, Daniel Gamelas, and José Cunha. The exhibition presents a collection of works that span painting and sculpture, fostering an encounter between different visual languages. Through material, gesture, and form, the works explore distinct ways of constructing the image and the artistic object, while also engaging the sensory dimension of the aesthetic experience. The intensity of the image and the material invites visitors to engage more closely with the work, where gaze, perception, and emotion intersect in the construction of meaning.

With this opening, the gallery reinforces the cultural vitality of Rua do Rosário, located in the so-called Quarteirão das Artes—one of the city’s main hubs for contemporary art and a prime venue for artists, galleries, collectors, and the public to come together.

The opening will take place on March 21, at 4:00 p.m., at Rua do Rosário 100, in Porto.
