Cristina Lamas (PT) is a visual artist with a multidisciplinary approach, which spans drawing, textiles, photography, sculpture, and installation. Although she explores different mediums and languages, drawing remains the basis of her work—a continuous practice of research and reflection, essential for structuring and deepening her ideas.

The exploration of remote cultural and geographical contexts is reflected in her work, which proposes a critical reassessment of the impact of human activity, both socially and ecologically. Thus, her works are the result of a profound reflection on the ecological memory of territories, the global construction of images, and historical memory.

The result is a work of precision and “translation,” in which everyday elements interact with more subtle and profound meanings. Her research also focuses on the tensions between deep time — corresponding to the geological scale of the planet's transformation — and human time, allowing her to approach nature not as a fixed given, but as a dynamic and constantly changing process.

Among her most recent exhibitions, some that stand out are Pororoca, at Fundação Carmona e Costa (Lisboa, 2022); Mistifório (collective), at Culturgest (Porto, 2023); and Extinção, at Brotéria (Lisboa, 2024).

She was a finalist for the FLAD Drawing Award (Lisbon, 2023) and received the Outstanding Artistic Project award at Drawing Room (Lisbon, 2024).

She was a grant recipient of the Fundação Oriente (1999, 2003), and the Fundação Luso-Americana (2001).

Her work is included in several collections, such as Caixa Geral de Depósitos, Ar.Co – Centro de Arte e Comunicação Visual, Fundação PT, Fundação Carmona e Costa, Fundação PLMJ, Coleção Manuel de Brito and Coleção de Arte Contemporânea do Estado.
