Maria Ferreira

​

I am a visual artist based in Lisbon, Portugal. I have a Bachelor degree in drawing, completed at the faculty of Fine Arts of Lisbon and a Masters in Art & Process of Contemporary Art accomplished in Crawford College – CIT, Cork, Ireland.

The foundation of my work considers the human body as an object, I aim to explore this by removing its concept and societal weight by treating it like a landscape or abstract composition. For this matter, I only use photography, mainly Polaroid for its instant feature.

I see the human body as a work in progress from which I seek to branch out of. With this in mind, and keeping the narrative evolving from project to project, I have recently started to develop a project looking at construction and quotidian compositions in comparison of the human body, using Polaroids.
