Filipa Figueiredo is a Portuguese artist and educator based in Porto, known for her innovative use of natural pigments and her deep exploration of humanity’s relationship with nature. With a background in Visual and Fine Arts, she draws inspiration from her studies in India, where she learned ancient painting techniques and developed a lasting passion for making her own pigments.

Figueiredo’s art features materials like Japanese ink, high-cotton engraving paper, and mineral pigments sourced from around the world. Her large-scale works invite viewers to pause, reflect, and reconnect—with nature, memory, and themselves. As both an artist and teacher, she encourages greater awareness of the environment and our inner landscapes.

She has exhibited internationally, collaborated with other artists, and contributed to educational projects that foster reflection and environmental consciousness.

Current Exhibition: First Things First

First Things First is Figueiredo’s latest series of ten paintings, created after a period away from her studio. Made quickly and with renewed energy, these works use natural mineral pigments from the mountains of northern Morocco, with some featuring charcoal sketches.

This series explores how we can focus on what truly matters amid today’s constant stream of distractions. Figueiredo encourages us to pause, choose what brings growth and happiness, and see the world in new ways.

Key themes:

– Focusing on what is essential
– Finding pleasure in creation
– The value of reflection and silence

This exhibition invites visitors to slow down and consider what is truly important—in art and in life.
