MARTA MATUSHITA
1955, Guará - SP - Brazil
Lives and works in São Paulo
Majored in Architecture from the Architecture and Urbanism School at the University of Mogi das Cruzes, Brazil (FAU/UMC), and studied different artistic languages: such as Theory of Art History, Ink Washing Painting, Contemporary Dance, Butoh, Drawing, Painting, Engraving, Photography, Installation, Performance, Intaglio, Lithography, Woodcut, and Cultural Travels.
At her artwork, she uses elements found in nature and manmade.
By rereading and reorganizing such elements, she gives nature a new meaning, creating communication or confrontation, in addition to bringing an incessant and patient dialogue, highlighting time, and mutation.
This allows for the diversification of her artwork.
