Maria Lucia Fontainha
Bio
Maria Lucia was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, where she lives and works. Her interest in visual arts began in the mid 90's when she participated in some exhibitions. After a few years she moved to the publishing area, returning in 2014 to the fine arts. Since then, she dedicated her time to researching and executing her works through painting, installations, drawings and sculptures.
Statement
Her work has as its theme the feminine universe, even when between the lines, with all its grandeur and pain, but also with its power and intensity, usually evidenced by strong colors, shade and light, and forceful movements.
Additional information
This work tries to capture the poetic time of the sea, in its movement of coming and going, in full and empty, and in its metaphor of life as it is. At the same time, it shows how, despite being different units, they print the same questions, in opposite positions like the tides.
