The theme of emigration is one of the most recurrent on Cape Verde’s poetic. The writers from the Claridade magazine devoted themselves to that theme. Understanding the poetics images created by the claridosos as an inauguration, one can realize that the contemporary painting of Kiki Lima resumes the theme, giving to it more positivity, including the insertion of the feminine figure as a symbol of resistance. On scenes of exodus and homecoming, Kiki Lima gives euphoric meanings to earth’s representative elements and no-euphoric to those associated to the ocean, in creations which contrast, respectively, hot and cold colors. The comparative study between literature and painting has its base on the semiotic theory by Greimas.
