The ISEG's Cultural Commission is pleased to announce, as part of the commemorations of the 111 ISEG's anniversary, the next exhibition of the ISEG's Painting Atelier, under the responsibility of Anabela Mota.
The inauguration of the exhibition will take place on June 30th, at 7:00 pm, in the cloisters of the ISEG (Quelhas Building, 3rd floor).
The exhibition will be open until July 28.
Congratulations to all involved for the work developed along the 11 years of ISEG's Painting Atelier!
The Painting Atelier is intended for the entire ISEGuiana community and its value proposition is the learning and exploration of basic techniques, using different materials and supports, with exercises that allow gradual progress. And also, the approach to composition, drawing and color. And, the recognition of line/stroke/texture.

About Anabela Mota
Anabela Mota's career started in 1982 at the António Arroio School and in 1985 at ESBAL. Since 1997 she has dedicated herself to painting, including organising workshops for children and adults. Since 2005 she has been working together with the IPO Paediatric Ward in the area of painting, among other initiatives. She also works with AMARA in the area of palliative care and presented a paper on 'Art in hospital - The mysteries of the Art of Life in the IPO of Lisbon' at the 'V International Congress Espaço T', in Porto. In 2007 she founded 'A Casa da Quinta' in Linda-a-Velha, a community space for art. She holds a degree and Masters in Painting from FBAUL and also teaches at the ISEG Painting Worksop, which is currently ongoing.
She exhibits regularly, also as part of her role as a curator. She is interested in the importance and awareness of the 'look' as a means to access multiple realities and a certain quality of time. She questions the fragility and mystery that is omnipresent in the reality of concrete things, the difference between a certain look which is used to seeing and the look that is driven by consciousness - an inner movement that has the gift of impressing reality.
