Born in 1993, Lisbon, Portugal Francisca Sarmento Coutinho is graduated in Fine arts, major in painting, by the University of Lisbon (2019). She lives and paints in a studio in Lisbon. It’s the intuitive forms present in her imagination, so often unconscious, that emerge in her artistic creation. The relentless quest to express her views and feelings are translated into the shapes, colours and textures present in her personnel story telling art. By leveraging her introspection and following her creativeness, she designs art in many different set-ups. Searching beyond paintings and canvas, she introduces paper and plaster in some of her creations. The originality present in her collages transforms the previous studies of drawing, in eloquent forms, that emerge in a narrative of materials. Her paintings and collages bring a new light to every day experiences, contemplating a diverse set of themes. Whether in times of uncertainty, when forms fall apart, however, not losing their figurative meaning; Or in the objects that appeal to the senses, in an immersion of light, that accesses the space of intimacy of uncertainty; Or even by transforming the original landscapes into colourful effects of the soul, according to the appeal of the senses. Different approaches to her artistic empathy to the reality.
