A COSMOLOGICAL VISION

Cristina Ataíde (b. 1951), sculptor, painter, designer, and graphic artist born in Viseu and currently based in Lisbon, has been exhibiting regularly since 1984. Her work has encompassed photography and video. With a degree in Sculpture from ESBAL, she specialized in Equipment Design. As the production director of Sculpture and Design at "Madein," Alenquer, from 1987 to 1996, she collaborated with artists such as Anish Kapoor, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Keith Sonnier, and Matt Mullican.

This lithography piece showcases her multidisciplinary background, manifesting her ability to express a cosmological vision that integrates the Cosmos and Chaos, order and disorder. Through a combination of poetic and visual elements, Ataíde creates images of great optical power and intense chromatic and luminous vibration.
