After 4 years studying Communication Design at FBAUP, Marta has found hidden between the covers of book a world she’s excited to dive in, interested to explore how to create captivating works in the field of editorial design.
For Marta, Design reflects her aim for perfection but a unexpected kind of perfection, far from the mathematical ideals achieved by computers and machines but a much more human version of it, a version of ancient almost mythological perfection, so imposing yet so human and full of little idiosyncrasies, often associated with her preferred techniques and practices like drawing, painting, printmaking, illustration and photography. Mixing and matching these practices she's able to create works that translate the almost lost art of authenticity honesty.
In this honesty Marta explores, in her original work, the reflection of her own memories (raging from special little details of her childhood to moments of a broken conversation she had just yesterday). Her work exposes her own experiences in such a way that those become universal to all of us.
