Come with me and my little art curator for a glimpse of the opening of the “OceanArt: From Science to Art 2026” exhibition 🌊

An inspiring collective exhibition where art and science meet to raise awareness about the challenges our oceans face. From biodiversity loss and climate change to marine pollution and ecosystem restoration.

It’s an honour to be part of this beautiful project alongside talented artists and scientists, creating a bridge between creativity, emotion, and knowledge. 💙

As someone deeply inspired by the ocean, this exhibition feels especially meaningful. A reminder of both the beauty and fragility of our marine world.

📍 Colégio Nossa Senhora da Graça, Vila Nova de Milfontes
🗓 16 May — 1 June 2026

Part of the “Festival das Florestas Marinhas 2026” 🌿🌊

Thank you to CCMAR – Centro de Ciências do Mar do Algarve, Universidade do Algarve and everyone involved in bringing this beautiful initiative to life.

Thrilled to share that this abstract work is headed to Denmark. Thank you Louise for choosing my art 🙏

“I Sea Blue” is inspired by the movement of water… soft, continuous, and ever-changing. It reflects those moments by the ocean where everything feels in flow. It was created intuitively, guided by the rhythm and energy of the sea here in the Algarve. 🌊 I hope it brings a sense of calm and lightness into your home.
Thank you for giving it a new space to live.

Hoje partilho convosco a terceira pintura patente na exposição INSUBMISSAS, que celebra o Dia Internacional da Mulher.

Esta peça foi inspirada numa mulher extraordinária do nosso tempo: .

Campeã de bodyboard, defensora da natureza, dona de uma beleza natural e de uma força inconfundível que sempre admirei.

A pintura foi inspirada numa fotografia de , cuja imagem captou de forma poderosa essa ligação entre mulher, mar e liberdade.

Depois de duas obras que evocam arquétipos e essências femininas, senti que a melhor forma de concluir esta série seria homenagear uma mulher real, contemporânea, que encarna na sua vida coragem, sensibilidade e uma ligação profunda ao oceano.

Um exemplo de força e delicadeza sublime🌊

Today I share the third piece for the exhibition INSUBMISSAS, celebrating International Women’s Day.

This artwork was inspired by an extraordinary woman of our time: .
A bodyboard champion, nature defender, and a woman with striking natural beauty and unmistakable strength that I deeply admire.

The painting was inspired by a photograph by , whose image beautifully captured the powerful connection between woman, ocean and freedom.

After two pieces inspired by feminine archetypes and energies, it felt only right to end this series by honoring a real woman of our times. Someone who embodies courage, sensitivity, and a deep connection to the ocean.

An example of strength and sublime delicacy 🌊

Hoje apresento-vos mais uma das peças da exposição “INSUBMISSAS, patente na Biblioteca da Universidade do Algarve, celebrando o 8 de março, Dia Internacional da Mulher:

“Maria do Mar – Contra a Corrente”🌊

Nesta obra, a mulher é mar em movimento…
não o que se rende à maré,
mas o que escolhe o seu próprio rumo.

É força que enfrenta.
É coragem que resiste.
É identidade que não se dilui.

Num dia que celebra a história, as conquistas e a voz das mulheres, esta pintura é um tributo àquelas que ousam nadar contra a corrente, com firmeza, consciência e verdade.

Que o 8 de março seja afirmação, presença e liberdade.

👩‍🎨 10 artistas femininas

Today I present another piece on view at the “INSUBMISSAS” exhibition, at the University of Algarve Library, celebrating March 8, International Women’s Day:

“Maria do Mar – Against the Current”🌊

In this work, woman is the sea in motion…

not the one that surrenders to the tide,
but the one that chooses her own direction.

She is strength that confronts.
She is courage that resists.
She is identity that does not dissolve.

On a day that honors women’s history, achievements, and voice, this painting is a tribute to those who dare to swim against the current, with firmness, awareness and truth.

May March 8 be about affirmation, presence, and freedom.

Aceitei o desafio de criar 3 peças sob o tema da Mulher para a exposição coletiva INSUBMISSAS, patente na Biblioteca da Universidade do Algarve.
Esta é uma dessas obras: “Maria do Mar – Soul” 🌊 Onde a mulher surge como oceano… profunda, intuitiva, indomável.
Não como fragilidade, mas como força primordial. Como maré que sente, que transforma, que resiste.
“Maria do Mar – Soul” é um mergulho na essência feminina enquanto energia viva, espiritual e infinita. Tal como o mar, não se domina, honra-se.
📅 Inauguração: 06 de março de 2026 (sexta-feira) às 16h00

I accepted the challenge of creating 3 pieces under the theme of Woman for the collective exhibition INSUBMISSAS, on view at the University of Algarve Library.
This is one of those works: “Maria do Mar – Soul” 🌊 Here, woman emerges as the ocean… deep, intuitive, untamed.
Not as fragility, but as primordial strength. Like a tide that feels, transforms, and endures.
“Maria do Mar – Soul” is a dive into the feminine essence as a living, spiritual, infinite energy. Like the sea, it cannot be controlled, it must be honored.
📅 Opening: March 6, 2026 (Friday) at 4:00 PM

Born in Lisbon, Vilma Vicente grew up spending summers in Sagres, where she camped and surfed with friends – a passion she inherited from her father, a surfer himself.

Over time, Sagres began to feel more and more like home, and in 2019, she made the move permanent.
