“Everyday materials deconstructed create new visual grammars that appeal to the archetypes of the human unconscious.”
Born in Lisbon in 1960, Ana Lima Netto moves between architecture and contemporary art. A lecturer and board member at the National Society of Fine Arts, she has also been Portugal’s Canson ambassador since 2013. In recent years, her work has expanded into curating and supporting emerging artists.
Ana Lima Netto
Her work reflects on the meaning of life and its transcendence, drawing from the multiplicity of experiences and polarities of existence. Rooted in reflections on Classical philosophy, her practice explores the tensions, relationships, and archetypes embedded in human nature and presented across cultures. Visually, her creations unfold through drawing, sculpture, and installation represented in everyday materials — shiny and transparent, sourced from construction sites or daily life.
