Exhibition “[in]conjuntos”, by Nélia Duarte

This exhibition results from accidental sets. Pieces that, when finished, find a pair, or pairs, in previous works.
It is not, therefore, subject to a theme – although it incorporates it – nor does it follow the rigor of a chronological order. The connection of the pieces is made through emotional dialogues that are established and can be observed and understood by the design and/or chromatic selection.
The thematic incorporation is understood in the sometimes caricatured representation of the figures, but also in the geometry that reveals a need for concrete and limits.

Between 2014 and 2016 he attended a technical course in Multimedia and experiments with new approaches to visual arts, namely graphic design and 2D and 3D animation.

She has exhibited, individually and in group shows, regularly since 2017, the year she held her first solo exhibition with a collection of 30 works.
