This phrase combines the verb 'appear' with the adjective 'striking' to express subjective impressions of noteworthiness or visual impact. In Brazilian Portuguese, it's commonly used in formal and informal contexts to describe things that are remarkable or visually distinctive. Americans often use 'striking' to emphasize unusual or particularly noticeable features, while the Portuguese may prefer 'marcante' (striking/memorable) for emotional or lasting impressions.
