Lina Alves

Born on an island, I've always felt a deep connection with the sea. The ocean inspires my creativity and fuels my passion for art. My work often reflects the vibrant and dynamic relationship between humans and nature. Through mixed media and collage, I strive to capture the beauty and essence of seaside life. Each piece is a tribute to the energy and inspiration I draw from the sea, aiming to remind viewers of our responsibility to cherish and protect our natural world.

I have a diverse background in advertising and marketing, combined with a specialization in scientific illustration. This unique blend of disciplines has enriched my artistic practice, allowing me to convey complex ideas through visual storytelling. Additionally, I'm a self-taught artist, continuously exploring new techniques and mediums to enhance my work. My education has equipped me with the skills to create art that is not only visually appealing but also thought-provoking and meaningful.

I have had the honor of participating in several prestigious exhibitions. In 2024, my work was showcased at the "Mescla" exhibition in Oeiras, Lisbon, a vibrant event celebrating diverse artistic expressions. Additionally, I exhibited my pieces at the Hospital São Francisco de Xavier, where art and community intersected in a unique and meaningful way. These experiences have been invaluable in sharing my vision and connecting with a broader audience, reinforcing the impact and reach of my artistic journey.
