ISABEL MADUREIRA ANDRADE

São Miguel, 1991.
Lives and works in Lisbon.
Isabel Madureira Andrade studied Painting at the Fine Arts Faculty, University of Lisbon. 
Master of Arts Thesis, Lisbon, 2018, Fine Arts Faculty, University of Lisbon.
Her first exhibition at the Fonseca Macedo Gallery was in January 2019, Cosmografias, a História e Outras Cores- group show - curated by Luísa Cardoso.
Isabel Madureira Andrade was short listed for the EDP New Artists Prize, 2019, and was distinguished by the International Jury with a Honorable Mention. 
Isabel begins with the transposition of objects – ready mades – using the “frottage” technique, showing their geometrical structure, many times organized as a repetitive pattern. It creates a visual rhythm, which resembles a representation of the cosmos.
Either on paper or on canvas, her transpositions of daily life objects become cosmographies, “systems of self-organizing of Nature”.
