Elisa Ochoa

I started my artistic professional activity in 2008, with my debut in an exhibition in Lisbon, at Fábrica Braço de Prata. Since then i developed several activities, cultural events and art workshops consisted of art education for kids; curatorial practices with many Portuguese and Spanish artists; i had organised art shows in Barcelona and Lisbon between the years of 2013 and 1017.
I was an author of art history drawing at the museum program in Barcelona, in 2017-2018.

I have been creating a graphic archive of all the marine Portuguese species, since 2015.

I published my first illustration art book in 2020.

I am most interested in nature, still life and drawing that is neither abstract nor figurative. I like the tension of the uncategorised artwork.

I also have a wide knowledge in Art History, Aesthetics and Philosophy of Art, from the smallest artefact to the master piece, capable of integrating culturally and transmitting information to different publics.

These qualities associated with her vast work experience in areas such as education, art and culture, developing art' projects with children in New York, Lisbon and Paris, respond to her wish to constantly assume new challenges.

I present my artwork in public since 200...
