ROSANA RICALDE

Niterói, Brasil, 1971

3+1 ARTE CONTEMPORÂNEA

Rosana Ricalde (1971, Niterói, Brazil) lives and works in Coimbra, Portugal. Throughout Ricalde’s practice she has incorporated elements of text and calligraphy to build forms which question where visual poetry and drawing begin. In doing so, she reveals the hidden language and stories associated with her works, which traverse time while echoing otherworldly civilizations, stories and histories. She has a bachelor’s degree in Engraving from the School of Fine Artes, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro. Her artworks are in both public and private international collections such as: Museu de Arte Contemporânea Dragão do Mar, Fortaleza, Brazil; Museu de Arte Moderna Aloísio Magalhães, Recife, Brazil; Coleção Gilberto Chateaubriand, Museu de Arte Moderna do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Coleção Banco Itaú SA, São Paulo, Brazil; Coleção SESC Nacional, Brazil; Coleccíon Patrícia Phelps de Cisneros NY/Caracas; Colección FEVAL, Spain; Colección Otazu, Spain; and Fundação PLMJ, Lisbon, Portugal.
