Exhibition Opening
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.

Artist Bio
Sometimes the painted surface reminds us of horizons, spaces and depths, challenging the ideas on landscape or the problematic of representation. The panel shapes express different types of references, heraldic for example, and work titles refer to forms, processes or objects associated to visual memories.
