Inês Raposo’s artistic practice engages with biographical themes, while also addressing contemporary political, gender, and social issues. Her paintings often reinterpret motifs from art history, creating fantastical subversions with a humorous and fluid anachronism. In this work, Raposo presents a still life inspired by a cleaning cart she encountered during her Erasmus exchange in Oslo. The composition — marked by vibrant colours and the object’s sculptural presence — draws attention to a form of labour that is often invisible. The painting invites a revaluation of the everyday, prompting reflection on the intersections between gender, labour, and visibility within public space.
