Catarina Lira Pereira's Friends

Profile Information

College / University: FBAUP (painting degree) and FBAUL (postgraduate in drawing)

About my artwork: As an artist, Catarina Lira Pereira explores cartoon images, and then renovates them. With lines and patterns, she covers up the image thus imbuing the remainder with a certain degree of inconsequence. Inspired by each image that she encounters, Lira Pereira proceeds to invade and occupy it as if she were claiming her own space within it. During this process, she gives preference and prominence to the aspects that she wants to integrate into the final revelation of her perspective. The interaction of memory and oblivion in her paintings give shape to a game of revelation and concealment in which a monochromatic field veils a battalion of colors or vice versa. Every element of her works takes part in this interaction. In Lira Pereira's oeuvre, everything is relative because everything is conditioned, contradicted, accentuated and supported.
