I painted this series while reading Kelly Grovier's "The Art of Color", and it changed everything about how I saw the canvas. Chromatic Garden Studies came out of that obsession with color relationships, inspired by Monet's water gardens in Giverny. I wanted to feel the garden more than paint it, layering golds, tangerines, and crimsons against fields of sage, deep green, and soft blue, letting complementary pairs do the work of light. Each piece is improvised, a conversation between colors, I was falling in love with.

Meadowdream came from a need to paint stillness. Gentle greens and soft blues build slowly across the canvas, layered with small textural details that emerge like grass, light, and air moving together. It is not a literal meadow, it is the feeling of one. The calm of being somewhere unhurried, where colour breathes.

Painted with acrylic and mixed media on cotton canvas, this piece invites the viewer to slow down. It works beautifully in living spaces, bedrooms, or any room that needs a quiet, grounding presence.

Olá, Margarida. Eu não vi o trabalho ao vivo, foi direto para Londres. Uma oferta para minha filha. Ela adorou! Já estão colocados e ficaram perfeitos. Obrigada!

— Rosa Encarnação

No matter the size of the painting the magic and heart that each of Margarida’s pieces has is evident even through the screen but when you have them in your hands you can see so much more behind each stroke and color: stories, songs and lots of love. Buying from Margarida is the gift that keeps on giving. Not the first and definitely not the last

— Monique Sainz

(…) "Assim que o vi, senti-me envolvida. Elevada. Levou-me para o mar sem sair do lugar. Assim que chegou, senti que havia uma parede a chamar por ele." (…)

— Isabel Novais
