Soul of the Earth

The breadth and physiographic diversity that characterize the Melgaço border offered multiple possibilities of passage during the time of smuggling and immigration by leaps and hops. And it is in this mythical place that the roots of a multifaceted artist are born. Madalena Lima infects us with her intelligent, expressive and ironic way of being. Her work celebrates traditions and opportunities, as well as revealing contradictions and weaknesses, experimenting with new techniques without neglecting the concept. By telling her story, we enter into symbiosis with the landmarks that imprint a unique identity to this land in Minho.
