Biography

 

João Motta Guedes, explores concepts of freedom, vulnerability and violence, his artistic productions reflect on the meaning of feeling and being human.

 

His projects stem from the personal and academic experience that led him to complete his Degree in Law in 2018, and in 2020, the Master’s at Universidade NOVA de Lisboa. In 2019, he decided to direct his academic research towards the intersection of the artistic discipline, and he was finishing his Masters in Painting at the Faculty of Fine Arts of Lisbon.

 

His artistic language, in various forms and plastic media, has an experimentalist nature. Through a poetic language, it seeks to question artistic creation as an act of freedom that responds to the problem of violence, both in the relationship with society and with each individual, leaving a comprehensive record of images that contain both symbolic and metaphorical meanings, at the waiting to be interpreted by each spectator.

 

Since 2018, he has been a researcher at the Foundation for Science and Technology in the project “COSMOS – COSMOPOLITISM: justice, democracy and citizenship without borders”.
