BIO
Ana Morgadinho (Lisbon, Portugal) lives and works in Lisbon. Degree in Paiting and Fine Arts by Ar.Co - Centro de Arte e Comunicação Visual, Lisbon (2011). The artist makes use of diverse materials and media ranging from painting, drawing, object, installation and sculpture. Her body of work focuses mainly on the exploration of materials, their potential and connections, based on philosophical, literary and scientific references. Looking at culture, nature, organic, mineral and intellectual, blurs the boundaries of each field, showing the network of connections between all things and the human being. She thinks the world in its fragility and ephemerality, accepting encounters or randomness brought by materials, shapes, objects and spaces.
