MARINA PEREZ SIMÃO

The artist takes techniques from different media such as painting, collage and drawing, as starting points in order to relate indoor and outdoor landscapes; composing visual journeys that sometimes go through the unknown, the abstract, the nebulous, and other times through clearings, visions and reappearances. While her works explore the complexity of signs, the gaze and imagination, they do not place themselves up to a constant transformation of impressions. In the territories to which they lead us, we always have to deal with the in-apprehensible, with the unspeakable instant.
