Manuela Pimentel

Press release

In Eis-me, sou uma poeta, irei ao entardecer (Here I am, a poet, leaving at dusk), Manuela Pimentel approaches the figure of the poet not through writing, but through images. Her work proposes a way of looking that seeks beauty, mystery and the possibility of renewal in what often goes unnoticed. Taking something inherently ephemeral, the advertising poster, and transforming it into a form associated with permanence and cultural memory, she creates a body of work that exists between preservation and reinvention. Faced with a world saturated by images and information, the artist invites us to pause, look closely, and uncover what lies hidden beneath the surface of things.
