Her work is featured in the following collections: Museu do Chiado, Serralves Foundation, Museu de Arte Contemporânea do Funchal, EDP Foundation, Coleção António Cachola and also the Coleção Banco Privado. She received the Prémio União Latina prize in 2001.From the principles of assemblage, intervened appropriation and abstract construction, the artist creates objects that appeal to the careful reading of their own processes, surprise and intrinsic nature. Isolated or conceived for dialogues in the space, they have the presence and the tactile appeal of sculpture, but also the resourcefulness of drawing and the intriguing challenge of their latent symbolic reference.
The experimental methods he has explored to approach old problems of the language of art involve as much the potential of words written into compositions as, from 1998 onwards, the possibility of a sensorial and non-descriptive representation of nature. João Queiroz taught Drawing, Painting and Art Theory at the Ar.Co (1989-2001) in Lisbon, where he actually lives and works.
João Queiroz began to exhibit painting and drawing in the early 1980s, while studying Philosophy at the Faculty of Letters of the University of Lisbon. Both interests converge in his work, which engages in an informed reflection on the role of the image in the contemporary age.

Things are not completely defined. There is no previous ideology able to define the world as it is now. The indeterminacy that remains in the painting has to do with this indeterminacy that I think exists in the things around us.
