Impressions features the participation of five distinguished artists and five prestigious writers with the aim of examining, rethinking, and valuing artistic printing techniques used in the 21st century, some of which are centuries old. Each writer-illustrator duo was assigned a technique to develop:

- Screen printing: Rui Cardoso Martins (text), João Fazenda (illustration)

- Lithography: Rui Zink (text), António Jorge Gonçalves (illustration)

- Relief printing: Mário de Carvalho (text), Maria João Worm (illustration)

- Intaglio printing: Rita Taborda Duarte (text), Pedro Proença (illustration)

- Digital printing: Patrícia Portela, Alex Gozblau

Writers and artists are invited to reflect on the relevance of graphic art techniques with great historical impact in artistic production. The visual creations enhance the characteristics and virtues of each technique, and the book-object, a graphic project by Maria João Lima, offers us visual and literary narratives. The numbered and signed edition of the book is reserved for the purchase of the set of the 5 artworks.

Pedro Proença

Born in Lubango, Angola, in 1962, this artist began drawing at a very young age and was already dedicated to comic books by the age of 13. He studied at the National Society of Fine Arts in Lisbon, where he met his mentor, the painter João Vieira, who would greatly influence his artistic career. He graduated in Painting from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Lisbon in 1986. While still a student, he started to make his mark on the university space with Pedro Portugal, founding the project for a magazine titled "Homeostética", which would later form the basis for the Homeostético group. The collective initially included Manuel João Vieira, Pedro Portugal, Ivo, and Xana. They held their first group exhibition in 1983. His first solo exhibition was in 1984, and he has since participated in important exhibitions both in Portugal and abroad. In 1983, he won the Nadir Afonso Prize and received an Honorable Mention at the Cagnes-sur-Mer Festival. In 1985, he was awarded the Acquisition Prize at the V India Triennial, and in 1993, he received the Union Latina Prize for an installation at the headquarters of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. In 1996, he won the Eixo Atlântico Prize, and in 1997, he received the 1st Prize at the Salon de Otoño de Plasencia. His works can be found in public collections in Portugal and Spain, such as the Serralves Foundation in Porto, the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon, MEIAC in Badajoz, and the Reina Sofia Art Center in Madrid. While he greatly dedicated himself to drawing as his preferred medium, as a versatile artist he has also explored various other forms of artistic expression, including painting, illustration, storytelling, essay writing, and even manifestos, having signed several of the manifestos of the Homeostético Movement. In recent years, he has also focused on installation art.
