Regina Mota Antunes

REGINA MOTA ANTUNES (Regina.A) was born in Cascais - Portugal she lives and works in Sintra.
Because of her pictorial personality, adaptability, spontaneity and tremendous curiosity, she often finds herself in the field of exploration and conducting research that leads to different approaches and techniques. She feels the need to be free of her more reflective side and "dip into" the canvas in intuitive and gestural mode, with no regard for previous drafts. This presents a challenge to surprise herself, as if it were an intrinsic necessity. The artistic process is based on overlapping random layers of paint and that will determine the evolution of the painting. These layers are being partially removed, revealing clear colours, textures and forms, a construction and deconstruction process whereby the painting acquires its own life.

In 2017 she “dipped” in the wonderful world of ceramics with which she fell in love.
The ceramic paste is shaped by your hands, not using molds or potter's wheels, designed or decorated in sgraffito, making her pieces with character and unique.
They are hand glazed and fired at high temperature
The pieces by Regina Mota Antunes are signed «romma»

Throughout her career, Regina Mota Antunes has deepened her expertise as self-taught, or by attending painting, ceramic and drawing workshops, as well as a painting course at Ar.Co (Center for Art and Visual Communication.
