Francisca Pinto (b. 1995)
Francisca Pinto was born in Vila do Conde, Portugal (1995), and currently lives and works in London,
Works primarily in drawings and paintings, mostly done from imagination. In these she aims to create, between her mind and the paper, images that explore human nature. These images are mostly about intimacy and a search for connection.
In 2018, she was awarded a scholarship for a postgraduate course at the Royal Drawing School, which she completed in 2019. She graduated in Painting from the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Lisbon in 2017. She was an artist-in-residence at the Grão Artist Residency at Quinta das Relvas (PT) in 2022, in Borgo Pignano, Pignano (IT) in 2019, and at CEAC in Vila Nova da Barquinha (PT) in 2018.
