Adriana Proganó

Adriana Proganó (Luzern, 1992), lives and works in Lisbon. Adriana graduated in Visual Arts, ESAD, Caldas da Rainha, studied painting at the Accademia di Belli arti di Venezia, Italy, and did a Post Graduation in Visual Arts at ESAD as well. Proganó's work is based on her own imaginary, in which the gesture of painting is an impetus, not only spontaneous, but necessary. Paintings with vibrant colours and fearless, unrestrained brushstrokes are testimony to what occupies the artist's mind at that moment. The body and the weight of social norms are frequent themes in her works, never forgetting genuineness and humour, in a will to create that cannot be contained.
