In the exhibition Terra e Vento (um equilíbrio) / Earth and Wind (a balance), at Galeria Sá da Costa, the artist Marta Sampaio Soares (Lisbon, 1968) presents a set of drawings. Made in the years, of 2010 and 2011, when she was still studying, they have various formats and use various techniques.
“We build ourselves. We stick to ideas and celebrations that create an identity. But, it is in the burst of those deceptions, in the difficult journey of getting lost, that we transcend. A difficult balance between land and wind.“
Marta Sampaio Soares
“The gesture of bringing these drawings, made more than 10 years ago, to the public, reveals a new possibility and a new way of seeing. By redeeming the memory of its execution, the artist exposes her own identity, through its possibilities and its fragilities. Without value judgment, and without hierarchy, both characteristics do justice to an expression in constant mutation. It is always when experiencing uncertainty and doubt that it is possible to build something new and unpredictable.”
Hugo Dinis
