MEXTO Property Investment Acquisition Prize - ARCOlisboa 25
Award "A Arte Chegou ao Colombo" | Museu Berardo
Ana Malta (Lisbon, 1996), artist, lives and works in Lisbon.
Malta studied painting at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Lisbon and has a master's degree in Creative Industries Management from UCP-Porto.
Her work develops through the study of colour, patterns, composition and scratching materials, vehicles of her plastic and visual unconscious. It's a work where restlessness seeks aesthetics and where dialogue is based on transforming ‘error’ into opportunity.
The artist is a member of the artistic collective VÊS.TRÊS, was one of the 10 finalists for the ‘Prémio A Arte Chegou ao Colombo’ in 2021, won the ‘Prémio José Mendonça - Artes Visuais | Betar’ in 2023 and was recognised as a ‘Breakthrough artist’ by Cultura Inquieta at ArtMadrid 2024; won the MEXTO Property Investment Acquisition Award at ARCOlisboa 2025; and is a finalist of the Sovereign Portuguese Art Prize 2025.
Malta has a residency in Guarda for the José Mendonça Prize in 2023 and an artist residency at the Kunstraum in Brooklyn/New York in 2024.
