Capi GSMA

Capi [Maria Inês Alves (2003)] is currently in her final year of a degree in Painting at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Lisbon. In her work, she explores the absurdity and irony of the nature of materials through assemblage, by changing the functionality of the everyday objects she finds. She is drawn to a spectrum of media such as painting, sculpture, drawing and installation, exploring the potential of each object, transcending its function into something chaotic and ridiculous, thus transforming them into new instruments for painting and Painting itself. In this relationship between making and realising, she dedicates herself to the limits of what a work of art is.
