Sara Antunes

I am an architect and artist, living in Lisbon, Portugal.
I have a master in drawing, by the Faculty of Belas Artes, Lisbon Portugal. And a PhD in Architecture, investigating space by drawing.
My artistic work registers, in some way, the impermanency: the light and shadow, the vulnerability and transitivity of life.
Some of my work is based on reality (e.g. a stone, a plant, a space, the sea), nevertheless, I understand that reality can be regarded in many ways, depending on what you propose yourself to look at, or, what are you able to see.
