Pedro Calapez (Lisbon, Portugal, 1953) is one of the figures who, since the late seventies, has studied the pictorial concept in depth. Closely linked to the practices of the support surface movement, his painting is based on colour and the constructive aspects of form. The use of large masses of pictorial material with neo-expressionist brushstrokes, together with the fragmentation of the support are the distinctive features of Calapez's work.

Rita Ferreira's painting (Óbidos, Portugal, 1991) draws on ephemeral elements and old memories from her personal archive, transforming them into visual representations whose legibility is often excluded and deferred. The singularity of oil on paper juxtaposed with the rejection of the traditional frame, almost always in favour of iron or brass supports, creates a play of contrasts between the gestural brushstrokes, the fragility of the paper and the weight of the metal structures.

João Ferro Martins (Santarém, Portugal, 1979) forms the basis of his artistic work through three-dimensional construction, production related to painting and relationships with the sound universe. He also develops actions including words, performance and video. His plastic work is based on processes where ideas, memories, symptoms and other immaterial aspects find their physical existence through the manipulation of objects from everyday and musical culture.

Gabriela Machado (Joinville, Brazil, 1960) lives and works in Brazil. Gabriela's painting, sculpture and drawing are inspired by everything that surrounds her and by the aesthetic compositions of everyday life. Through the use of intense brushstrokes, bright colours and contrasting scales, landscapes acquire their shapes.

Nuno Sousa Vieira (Leiria, Portugal, 1971) creates wonderful sculptures, composed of various factory materials, architectural elements and discarded furniture, which are the result of a process that involves the translation of the workspace into his final works.
