Patrícia Abreu is a Brazilian visual artist who mixes multiple techniques in the realization of her works, moving fluently through different artistic languages in her search for original expression. Currently, she rescues the practice of Photography as a conceptual, formal and artistic exercise. Themes about Time, Memory and the Natural World are constant presences in her work.
With a degree in Graphic Design and professional experience in Art Direction for Audiovisual Dramaturgy, she uses her trained background to compose narratives of great visual impact through her sensitive images. Always interested in mysteries shaped by light, which cross visible surfaces, involving what we see and blurring what we imagine, in metaphorical approaches that can eventually reach an imagery abstraction.
In addition to Macro Photography, Conceptual Photography and the composition of Digital Photomontages, she also carries out studies focused on the poetic and computational language of image creation, seeking to expand his field of artistic expressiveness.
Since 2021, she has participated in several group exhibitions at Collect Art, ARTDOC Magazine, LoosenArt Gallery, Galeria Azur Berlin, Al-Tiba9 Gallery, PH21 Gallery, FotoNostrum Barcelona Gallery and others.
