BIOGRAPHY
Patrícia Abreu is a Brazilian visual artist who mixes multiple techniques in the realization of her works, moving fluently through different languages in her search for original expression. Currently, she rescues the practice of Photography as a conceptual, formal and artistic exercise. Themes about Time, Memory and the Natural World are constant presences in her work. With a degree in Graphic Design and professional experience in Art Direction for Audiovisual Dramaturgy, she uses her trained background to compose narratives of great visual impact through her sensitive images. Always interested in mysteries shaped by light which cross visible surfaces, involving what we see and blurring what we imagine, in metaphorical approaches that can eventually reach an imagery abstraction.

STATEMENT
The construction of images captured photographically, as visualizations of imprecise worlds. Both for the light that passes through the lenses that deform and magnify, and for the unconventional investigation of the chosen subject. All the ambiguous questions and subtle answers faced on this journey, leave me more than fascinated by contemporary photographic practice and the future of image-making.
