Antonio Faria (Lisbon, Portugal, 1966). Lives and works in Lisbon. An artist-designer trained in Fine Arts (AR.CO) and Graphic Design (IAde), his work has developed mainly in the fields of drawing-painting, design, and illustration, with forays into sound experimentation. António Faria states that he is driven by the idea of melancholy and claustrophobia conveyed by spaces that are impossible to inhabit. And the possibility of their transposition, especially in the case of melancholy: his own, probably. Far from being interested in purely questions of representation of nature, the artist uses nature as an emotional metaphor, closing it off, to create the claustrophobic environments he focuses on.
