About the artist: Marisa Grilo is a multidisciplinary artist focused on ceramics, printmaking, and illustration. With a degree and postgraduate studies in Visual Arts, specializing in Sculpture, she finds inspiration in nature and in the handmade process to create unique pieces. Her work is deeply personal and rooted in childhood memories—when she lived near the sea—and in the figure of an important person and their garden. It is an intimate and meticulous practice, filled with small joys and a kind of happiness she only experienced during that time of her life. She is the co-founder of the studio and shop doBARRO and a member of the collective Squid Ink Works, in Porto. Her work reflects curiosity, touch, and the dialogue between art, memory, nature, and the human. About the exhibition: This exhibition brings together a series of works born from the observation and imagination of a personal garden, a symbolic space where shapes, colours, and textures grow from within. Among reinvented flowers, spots, and gestural lines, Marisa Grilo invites the visitor into an intimate and sensitive territory, where the natural and the emotional intertwine. These are fragments of a garden, but also fragments of herself, printed, drawn, and shared with the same gesture that sows. From Grandma’s Garden, from me to you.
