Ana Wever

Ana Wever (Lisbon, 1975), lives and works in Lisbon.
Wever’s artistic career began in 2010 when she decided to invest in specific training at the Sociedade Nacional de Belas Artes (SNBA), Lisbon, Portugal. She consolidated her knowledge in Painting and Contemporary Art History for over five years and currently attends the course of Experimental Atelier.

Ana Wever has regularly exhibited since 2011 and is represented in institutional and private collections, national and worldwide.

Her work is multidisciplinary, but with particular focus on painting and digital photography. Nature is her greatest source of inspiration (the shapes, the colors, reflections, light and shadow).

Currently, the artist is developing a research and exploration work on the theme of fragility, in a broader sense, establishing analogies between the different "fragilities" of places and societies, for awareness raising and future collective consciousness.

In addition to the condition present in the conception of her work, she seeks for simplicity and sophistication (in the sense of extreme subtlety) – of what she considers to be, the “Essence” of the theme.

Wever’s solo exhibitions were: Fragility Re-search at SNBA, Lisbon, Portugal (2017), FEEL-TRUE (2016) and Fio Condutor (2013) both at the Center of Documentation of the Lisbon City Council, Portugal.

The most important group exhibitions were in Portugal: Abel Manta Painting award at the Municipal Museum Abel Manta, Gouveia (2015); A Poética do Visual, an international exhibition at the Gallery of the Museum of Aveiro (2015), and Arte Hoje at SNBA, Lisbon (2014).
