“Catarina Garcia is an young artist from Lisbon, Portugal.
Born in 1986, she lives and works in Lisbon.
From the beginning, her work has always featured figure drawing as a starting
point. Her interest in drawing is a focus in her portrait work and paintings,
where composition is of singular importance. Her most recent paintings belong
to a universe where dreams and imagination meet, creating stories from imagery.
Catarina continues to draw daily in her sketchbook, seeking new and expressive
ways to advance her drawing.
