REALISTIC
I’m a visual artist from Lisbon, Portugal with a focus on murals, painting, drawing and printmaking. My work has been exhibited in group and solo shows in Portugal, Spain, U.S.A., U.K. and in Ireland. In 2019 I painted my first large scale outdoor mural and to date I’ve created over 70 murals, throughout Portugal, Spain, Luxembourg, Italy, France, Denmark and Ireland. My work is figurative in nature, centered mainly around painting, drawings and printmaking but influenced by other artistic areas such as cinema and literature. When it comes to public art, the themes I like to work on are mostly focused around the concepts of memory, collective identity and local stories and portraiture, thus archive pictures are key in her mural work.
