This is the public profile of Aida Duarte, Additional information and high-resolution images are available for accredited press members, to access additional information about Aida Duarte please login as a press member.The world influences every stage of my work, seeing and being seen is something very present in the way I translate my aesthetic and view through creative projects, which in a way may explain why photography is the first step I take for everything.
I photograph before painting, drawing or collaging. I photograph to translate my view, to remember, to translate the essence of atmospheres, places, objects or moments, by mixing the real with the potential that I fantasize for those things. Retelling and reinventing contemporary stories through colour and compositions that later on converge into printed textiles. The aim is to create something bigger than just a pattern, is to reflect what is behind it and provide it to a range of end uses, allowing it to become a high-end dress or a frame in a gallery.
