We met Marta Nunes when she was part of
Arrebita's second team, a social project which we are partners as cost consultants. After she ended her three-months period working with Arrebita we kept following her, namely the work she has been developing in the area of Illustration. The quality of this work led us to invite Marta to send us some of her drawings to be published in our blog, invitation that she kindly accepted. To get to know more about Marta and her Artworks, visit her page at
cargocollective.com/mnarq.
We are now working with Marta to organise some initiatives together regarding her intervention on Fine Arts, so we hope to publish more news soon.
"I was born in 1984 and soon began to draw. To
talk about me is to talk of dashes and dots - illustration. - Photography . -
Architecture.
Beyond the Morse code, participated with drawings, photographs, projects and
words in several magazines. Performed group and solo exhibitions in the areas
of Photography and Illustration. With regard to Architecture participated in
project Arrebita, held in Porto. Sign and produce by the brand Ediota.
"To draw is in fact looking with your eyes, observe, discover. Draw is
learning to see, to watch being born, to grow, to develop, to “kill” things and
people. It takes to draw to bring to our inside what was seen and what will
then be then inscribed in our memory for a lifetime. " © Le Corbusier
To draw values both instinctive and intuitive processes and who draws knows
that each design is an unique moment, a circumstance synthesis. The perception
will help how we apprehend reality, representation is an individual expression,
and the trace is the "fingerprint ". It is a travel between the
outside world around us and the inner one where we deposit all the memories. To
draw is the simplest way to access the pictures of our unconscious, and to use
what’s in there coded in dots and lines, is the expression of something that
does not exist otherwise. It is the simplest form of communication and
aesthetic expression to which we are sensitive to. The drawing is sharing of
feelings and emotions, is part of our nature as it is the act of speaking, is
also a form of language, is perhaps the primordial form to build ideas. This
sharing means the representation of images that we have built on the real and
mental worlds that define us.
The
drawing is fluid for me, a continuous line, but sometimes need breaks to
choose one or another word. Intuitively one seeks for stronger forms of each
representation, as an almost blind single gesture, becomes a memory of
something physical .
What interests me is the line, with this gesture wherewith arises Architecture,
a dash fluid that becomes abstract and transforms into a handrail, at the
rhythm of a facade, into a volume that will be in constant change. I cannot
think without images and lines and there is not - for me – Architecture without
drawing."
