For.Ever Art Gallery presents, from March 4th, the exhibition Reservado.
The show integrates a set of polychrome glass painting, drawing and sculpture works produced between 2017 and 2020 by the young Portuguese visual artist Ana Malta, aka "NUMPÁRA".
Her work, deeply autobiographical, develops around the theme of personal identity, where the body is seen as the vehicle of her artistic process. Frequently using her own body and the body of those around her, representing it in a more faithful or more stylised way, the artist frequently explores her own femininity.
Although the body is repeatedly understood in Ana Malta's works as a work of art, it is above everything a space of memories and social experiences.
Until May 29th (extended until July 17), there are 21 works that can be seen in this exhibition that reaffirms For.Ever Art Gallery's space as a field of expression for new talents."
