António Faria Portugal, b. 1966

António Faria develops a practice centred on drawing, favouring large-scale monochromatic works that explore figurative and realist depictions of lush nature, revisiting the traditional genres of landscape and still life. 

Through a visual language that is both delicate and intense, the artist constructs a melancholic vision of the fragility of the natural world, evoking atmospheres suspended between memory, absence, and mortality. 

Often expanding drawing into multimedia installations incorporating video, sound, and light, Faria creates immersive environments that amplify the sensory and contemplative dimension of his work. 

His pieces suggest landscapes in transformation or decline, where human presence is only indirectly perceived, inviting viewers into a deeper reflection on time, impermanence, and the relationship between nature and existence. 

Graduated in Communication Design from IADE and having completed the Advanced Course in Visual Arts at Ar.Co, his work has been presented in several solo and group exhibitions in Portugal and internationally.
