Isabel Macieira, Lisbon 1957. Lives in Tavira since 1985.
Visual artist, art teacher and master in Portuguese Art History.
I am moved by the enormous taste for the experimental process and the surprise of the results, typical of the different engraving techniques, which is always associated with the passion for ritual and tribal visual arts. The incision or brushstroke made on the stone, a mark, a mystical gesture, a vibration…
… are once again the guiding thread of this series of engravings where fertility rituals and ancestral healing and spiritual practices are evoked.
