About

 

Julee (Juliana Lee Pinto, Curitiba, 1994) is a visual artist based in Lisbon since 2017. She holds a degree in Multimedia Art from the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Lisbon and furthered her training in Ceramics and Painting at the Casa Alfredo Andersen Museum (Curitiba) and in Photography and Painting at Ar.Co – Centre for Art & Visual Communication (Lisbon).

Her research focuses on materiality and cycles of transformation, exploring how different materials—natural, domestic, and found—carry memories and symbolic relationships. She works with peripheral materials, incorporating them into installations and objects that question permanence, transience, and reconstruction. Through a dialogue between traditional and experimental techniques, she investigates forms of re-signification.

Since 2021, she has been developing workshops with diverse communities, exploring materials and practices that reinforce the connection between materiality and symbolism. She also works as a cultural mediator, fostering dialogues between artistic practices and community contexts, expanding access to experimentation and critical thinking. Her work has been exhibited in Portugal, Spain, and Brazil.
