Luzia Lages (1962) is a Portuguese artist who stands out for her surrealist-inspired works, with vibrant colors and portraits of human and animal expressions. He studied at the Escola Superior de Belas Artes in Lisbon and developed an artistic practice that mixes traditional elements of Portuguese art with surrealism. Lídia Jorge wrote about the author: “Through animist expressionism, her work reveals the rigor of drawing, the transfiguration of the body and freedom in space”; “...Luzia Lage paints the perplexity of Life. The weight of reality and the lightness of overcoming. The strength of dreams and the distance of sleep. The mystery of creativity and the limits of our hands. The dazzle of the idea and the oscillation of matter…”. In the publicity note for the Majestosa Imperfeição II exhibition, it states: “Life is the nature that supports pulsating beings, whether vegetable or mineral, it supports everything that is visible or what is about to happen. The difference between a human being and a river could be null if the river is understood absolutely. No, it is not within our reach because life is imperfect and, as such, eludes its geometric bed and the river cannot be deceived. Even if the fauns and people fall asleep or fall helplessly, life will perpetuate its surprising game, mirroring itself in the universe.” Represented in several national and international private collections, and with more than two dozen solo exhibitions since 1996, Luzia Lages has already been awarded the following prizes: 1st Press Prize in the Fine Arts category “Feminine Personality of Portugal 2009” and the International Prize : 1st Prize for Painting and Fidelity to Art awarded by the Vera World Fine Art Festival 2015. In addition to the many individual and collective exhibitions in which she participates, the author works with public work, of which we highlight the three-dimensional tile panel - “Mães de Água”, CREL and the collective commemorative panel for the inauguration of Casa do Artista in Lisbon, Mural commemorating and paying homage to the work of Lídia Jorge, among others.
