ARTIST BIO
Sara Bichão’s work considers the artist's understanding of identity and traveling, oscillating from a personal view of life to a symbolic approach of colors, forms and meanings. At once ephemeral and contemplative, Bichão creates a balanced environment for the viewer, encouraging the discovery of symbolic meaning.
Sara Bichão (b. 1986) lives and works in Lisbon, Portugal. She received her Master in Fine Arts at the University of Lisbon and in 2012 she was an artist-in-residence at Residency Unlimited, New York. Bichão was awarded the BPI Bank Prize for Painting and the prestigious Fidelidade Mundial Jovens Pintores Prize. Her recent exhibitions include Rooster Gallery, New York; Artopia Gallery, Milan; Les Gens Heureux, Copenhagen; Pavilhão Branco, Lisbon; Quadrum Gallery, Lisbon; Krypt Gallery, London; Barbara Davis Gallery, Houston; Arevalo Gallery, Miami; Natural History Museum, Lisbon; Museum of Ancient Art, Lisbon; and Oriente Museum, Lisbon. Bichão’s work is in the collections of Culturgest-Fidelidade Mundial, Telo de Morais Collection, Figueiredo Ribeiro Collection, and ECO Collection.
