Ana Malta Portugal, b. 1996
Overview
Ana Malta is a visual artist who lives and works in Lisbon. With an academic background in painting from the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Lisbon and a master's degree in Creative Industries Management from UCP-Porto, Malta develops work in which color, patterns, and composition become the foundation of her visual expression. Her artistic practice is driven by aesthetic restlessness and the transformative potential of "error" as a creative tool.
Malta's work goes beyond the exploration of form and color; it becomes a space for investigating expression, the body, memory, and the relationship between the tangible and the unconscious. Her aesthetic pursuit is marked by contrasts, the study of compositional possibilities, and the interaction between error and intentionality. Ana Malta creates not just images but visual experiences that engage with the viewer's perception and emotion.
In 2023, she was awarded the "José Mendonça Prize – Visual Arts | Betar," and the following year, she was recognized as a "Breakthrough Artist" by Cultura Inquieta at ArtMadrid 2024.
