Curriculum Vitae (pdf)
Sofia Pidwell is a Portuguese interdisciplinary artist based in Lisbon. Her practice brings together drawing, painting, performance and participatory processes, investigating presence, identity and the forms of relationship that emerge in the encounter between artist and audience.
Her work develops from an ongoing inquiry into the human condition and individual transformation. Each series addresses a specific theme related to the development of consciousness, exploring gestures, symbols and interactions that reveal internal mechanisms, behavioural patterns and possibilities for personal evolution.
Her practice is characterised by the artist’s active presence and by the creation of situations of proximity with the audience, where the aesthetic experience also becomes a moment of reflection and expanded perception.
She has been exhibiting regularly since 2009, the year of her first solo exhibition.
