HElena Valsecchi
<\/strong>Italian and Portuguese artist, born in Novara, Italy, in 1976. She currently lives and works in Lisbon and Peniche, Portugal. She attended the Painting and Drawing course at Ar.Co. in 2018, and the Artistic Residencies program at MArt, in Lisbon, with a scholarship from Carmona e Costa Foundation, MArt, S\u00e1 da Costa in 2019\u20132020. She was a guest resident at RAMA, Resid\u00eancias Art\u00edsticas da Maceira e Alfeiria, and integrated the project team.

Among her most recent exhibitions stand out the solo show Synecdoche<\/em>, with text by Jo\u00e3o Silv\u00e9rio, at Galeria S\u00e1 da Costa, and the group exhibition Uma Certa Pr\u00e1tica da Aten\u00e7\u00e3o<\/em>, at Galeria Municipal de Torres Vedras, curated by Ana Anacleto, in 2022. HElena bases her practice on her reflections about the sacred, its origins and essence, and the human need for it as an answer to the fragility of individual life, a necessity that translates the ever-unfulfilled yearning for a fusion between the singular and the whole, between the human body and the non-human body, individual life and universal life.
