It’s great to see so many people following my work and keeping up with the paintings I create every day.

To say thank you, I’m giving away one print produced and created by me with Atelier de Imagem. It is a digigraphie, a high-quality giclée print that preserves the details, colors, and textures of the original artwork. Each print comes with a certificate registered in a secure database, confirming its authenticity and edition. I will personally add a unique intervention to it, making it one of a kind.

To enter, leave a comment below. I will randomly select one person from the comments. The winner will be announced next Sunday, March 1.

Thanks for following!

CONSTELLATIONS OF LISTENING

Inspired by the concept of listening, this curatorial project unfolds as a constellation of voices that explore how contemporary art can expand the very notion of listening beyond sound. Listening, here, is not passive: it is an active, embodied, and ethical gesture — a practice of attention that renders audible what is often disregarded, giving form to silences, resonances, and hidden memories.

The selection of artists — Ana Malta (Portugal, 1996), Barbara Wildenboer (South Africa, 1973), Cássio Markowski (Brazil, 1972), Ibrahim Bemba Kébé (Mali, 1996), Osvaldo Ferreira (Angola, 1980) and Sanjo Lawal (Nigeria, 1997) — establishes a transcontinental dialogue where tradition, identity, and experimentation converge. Each, from their symbolic and cultural territory, presents works that, more than being seen, demand to be listened to with attentiveness and presence. Ana Malta explores chromatic compositions that reverberate as visual rhythms, capturing the flows and cadences of the everyday. (..)

This project is not confined to the presentation of works. It configures a space of expanded listening, where seeing and hearing intertwine. It resists the immediacy of answers, proposing instead pauses, intervals, and echoes that open up space for reflection. In so doing, it creates the conditions for an active engagement with art and with narratives that only emerge when one truly, deeply, chooses to listen.

Special thanks to .vieira.ribeiro .m.rodrigues and Sofia!

O exercício de reter, 2025
50x70cm

From the “Voice Studies” series, presented at 2025 with . I use these drawings to examine imperfections and reinterpret them visually, creating a point of connection with the viewer.

“The Struggle to Retain” explores the artist’s desire to expand her mental space in order to absorb more knowledge. The work reflects the frustration of memory functioning selectively, not always fully accessible. It questions the power of the mind and the limited control we have over our bodies.

Only today and tomorrow left to visit my solo exhibition “IMPERMANENTIA” at in Chiado, Lisbon.

📍
Until Jan 24
2.30 - 7pm
Rua da Emenda 72, Lisbon

“Her compositions emerge from primordial stains, seemingly arbitrary, which serve as the structural matrix of the creative process — a territory of indeterminacy where form gradually reveals itself. From this foundation, Malta establishes an inner order that organises visual and emotional chaos, transforming the spontaneity of gesture and the fluidity of memory into records of ephemeral experiences. The result is an emotional cartography in perpetual construction, where chance, colour, and the reiteration of gesture sustain a dialogue between control and freedom, intuition and consciousness.” — .m.rodrigues

• “Papel de Parede” by .tres, was a performative work presented at the opening, sold by the meter on the day, fulfilling its performative purpose. It is no longer on display, but its space is now filled with other works from the exhibition.

WINNER OF THE PUBLIC VOTE PRIZE

I am deeply grateful to everyone who voted and visited the exhibition. This work emerged from the pressure to remain passive in the face of everyday adversity. Seeing how strongly people connected with it reminds me that I am not alone in resisting neutrality - as Rupi Kaur writes, ‘the irony of loneliness is we all feel it at the same time’. Through this public vote, chaos and frustration become pictorial tools, allowing for a few more moments of madness.
