A creative studio focused on research and curating Art and Crafts handmade
in Portugal
Arte(sanato) Auction
January 20 to 26
At the invitation of Cabral Moncada Leilões, I curated the Arte(sanato) auction, which proposes a dialogue between art and craftsmanship, bringing together 96 pieces created in Portugal.
Studio visits
The studio is open for visits by appointment. With the new year comes a new selection of pieces available for sale.
Amor é cego (love is blind)
To celebrate its 119th anniversary, Livraria Lello has chosen to honour the book Amor de Perdição by Camilo Castelo Branco and invited me to decorate its windows until April 2025.
curating
Whether curating an exhibition, sourcing objects, collaborating with artists to create new pieces, I love to research all around Portugal and celebrate our singular and diverse heritage. I can also assemble antique crafts collections to respond to a specific request.
COLEÇÕES · FELIPA ALMEIDA BOOK
Our aim in this publication is not to suggest yet another interpretation of the collecting phenomenon.
Our proposal is less ambitious but, we hope, not irrelevant: we want to contribute to the knowledge of private collections in the Portuguese context, especially those centred around popular art and handicrafts.
The first book in this series dedicated to private collectors of popular art focuses on Felipa Almeida’s own collection, which ultimately prompted this project.
Research Diary
The Research Diary started on Instagram and unveils an heritage that is often unknown. It is where I share the constant art and craft search I do in books, museums, markets, galleries, antique shops and artist and craftsman studios.
