Strangely Not Alive

Sculptures of things that shouldn't exist,
but do.

I am Joana Romeiro, a self-taught sculptor from Portugal. I create because something inside me asks to exist outside of me. There is no specific reason or message, I just follow the impulse to give ideas form.
My pieces are born somewhere between the conscious and the instinctive. I mix the real and the imagined, the strange and the gentle, until something feels complete, or at least alive.
I do not seek meanings, only the pleasure of creating. Once a piece is finished, it no longer belongs to me. It belongs to whoever sees it, and every gaze creates a new story.
