Andreia Santana’s artistic production conveys the experience of bodies and their space, combining pleasure and pain in different nuances, simultaneously portraying a sense of fragility and vulnerability while expressing a poetic force. Santana’s research explores the body, its representations, accessories, and divergent norms, as well as gender and its inherent ambiguities. Her work draws on feminist discourse and its reverberations, affirming positive, active agency. These influences are evident in her sculptures, which reference queer, feminist, eco-feminist, and transgender authors.

Andreia Santan has exhibited work at Oakville Galleries, Canada; Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art, Portugal; and Kunstraum Niederösterreich, Austria, among others.
