Laura Vitorino Rebelo (Funchal, 1985).

Lives and works at Herdade da Burquilheira, Alcáçovas.

 

PhD Art History researcher at Centro de História de Arte e Investigação Artistica, Master's in Artistic Practices in Visual Arts, and BA in Visual Arts from the School of Arts at the University of Évora. 

 

In 2023 and 2019, Laura was selected to be part of the edition of the book Portuguese Emerging Art.

 

In a constant state of itinerant nomadism, Laura's multidisciplinary artistic practice focuses on the Landscape format, questioning the themes of identity, memory, and experience.

 

It emerges as a plastic and visual essay of the physical landscape, focusing mainly on the permanent observation, reflection, and experience of the body while wandering in the Landscape and the Landscape that crosses memory and the imaginary.

 

Laura uses video, photography, and classification documentation to explore the passing of the seasons, inquiring about the essence of the Landscape itself.

 

Laura has exhibited since 2014. Of the individual exhibitions, the following stand out: Subtle Landscape (2019, Casa da Avenida, Setúbal, Portugal), OffarqLisboa (2018, Pátria Interiores, Lisbon, Portugal), There are more seas than roses, with rare exceptions (2018, Casa da Cultura, Comporta, Portuga), (un) inhabited landscapes (2017, Casa da Luz Museum, Funchal, Portugal).
