Norovirus


This painting is known as THE MOST organic painting of Esthe Mefille's early catalog. Norovirus is a representation of ailments all conjugated to subjugate the human physiology to its knees. This painting became viral when first hitting the Internet social networks, but soon Mefille's fans realised this piece of art worked almost as a protest against the weakness of the human kind. If one sees it properly, the different types of sick fuse in a ray to the epicenter of the ailment to erupt in a volcano of complaints. A difficult painting to digest, a much harder to ignore.

Abstract Land (Terra Abstracta)


Short description: If you find a piece of land that demands from you a subservient behaviour and you respond with aversion against inequity, you will have Abstract Land. The resulting Anarchy (in black) against the despotic arrogance (in orange) midst a neutral existence (in yellow) make of this painting one of the Primal moments of Esthe Mefille's long repertoire. Unbearable, too good to be true, tremendously insightful.

Measles Fish (Peixe Sarampo)


The celebration of the cure against measles was a fact distinguished with art by Esthe Mefille back in... who knows, only Carbon 14 can tell. Few had so far the capacity of embracing a disease and report it as a painting like Esthe. The warrior vaccination spat against the paper, feverish water colours tracking the progress of the star disease from fading red to a violent soaking. Critics always asked themselves - "Why a fish?". Ethylmercury, a substance used in vaccines against measles, can also be found in the environment in some kind of fish. The original of this painting is supposed to have been painted with Ethylmercury. Only Esthe Mefille to come up with such logic of communion between these incredible and intriguing  facts.

The Butterfly Defect (O defeito borboleta)

The Butterfly Defect is a piece of work Esthe Mefille signed long time back under the pseudonym 'Benjamin'. No one really knows the reasons behind such decision, but rumor has it that it was supposed to star in the figurative art collection "The PaperMoon Diaries". Some critics believe that this piece of watercolor sketch was never intended to be shown to the public, some others say that this pseudonym freed Esthe Mefille to release more alternative pieces of work just like this one. The renowned UK artist Bankshy, not the one from Bristol but the one from Nottingham, spent weeks with Esthe Mefille when he was going through one of his utmost epic creative turmoils and classified this work as "a complaint against coughs, colds and rashes... of the soul".

Green Ghosts, Fantasmas Verdes




Short description: Green Ghosts is so far the most accomplished and remarkable collage by Eshtte Mefille. A Winning (Art Festival of Bonhgko - 1998) piece of art that reinstated Eshtte Mefille as probably the world leader in the art subarea of collages. Green Ghosts can be seen as the Monty Python of collages out there and has been tremendously appraised for its depth, allure, enticing balance and predisposition for a happy nothingness. Produced with paint dust over glue, this arithmetic choice of lines display an insurgence of ghosts from a pink soil, as they scream.

Rabo-de-Peixe, Fish Tail


Title: "Rabo-de-Peixe" (in English, Fish Tail)

Short description: Fish Tail is the first commercial work by Eshtte Mefille after the incredible success accomplished with his debut oil paint collection "fy dyfroedd torrodd" in 2013. The young British artist with strong Iberian roots reinvents himself with the artwork that opens his new exhibit starring in London later this year. The painting is an attempt to enclose the dynamics of this Portuguese Civil Parish in the municipality of Ribeira Grande, Azores, Portugal. Eshtte Mefille visited this peculiar area twice during the promotion of his inaugural oil paints collection and considered himself mesmerised by the authenticity of the villagers. The mores, the idiosyncrasies and the fish tail itself are present within the soul of this painting.
