SYNOPSIS

The world of Fernando Lemos is a world fiercely stripped of any external logic, as Jorge de Sena used to say. His multifaceted artistic gesture blends with existence itself, where the poetic principle comes before everything. And it is through the light that insists on entering through the half-closed door that the fear of life is overcome in the battle fought against death. And so, each word is born inside another word and each image inside each image. From how many knives is love made? the poet asks.
