About Me

My name is Rita Fugaz, I am a Portuguese artist born and raised in Porto. I studied at the Fine Arts University in Porto where I took the course in Visual Arts and specialized in Painting between 2012 and 2016, before that I studied at the Soares dos Reis Artistic School where I completed high school and specialized in Graphic Design between 2009 and 2012.

The Fine Arts, and especially Painting, exist in my life as an addiction. My artistic work is marked by yellow lines, and blue and green tones. I believe that the most relevant characteristic of my art lies in the creation of different painting projects combined with text where the image happens on the front and the back of the object. These proposals have served to communicate my vision on matters related to being and nature.

In addition to the motif, I give a big importance to the matter, and it is through this body that each work appears in the physical world and ceases to exist only in its psychological world. After a long process of discovery and interiorization of the artistic reality, I found a direction that represents me today.

I can say that I am peace and density at the same time. Sometimes the back of my paintings become the front, and the front becomes the back. I believe that we are a whole with interior and exterior, and for that reason, I am always trying to show both sides of an apparently peaceful vision.
