Raúl Perez (b. 1944), exhibited in 2009 by the Berardo Museum of whose collection he is a part, "refuses the connection to any movement, [but] is situated in the proximity of Surrealism", according to the art critic Maria João Fernandes, " surpassing it, by its rooting in an anthropology of the imaginary".
