About the Artist
Gabriela Albergaria is a distinguished Portuguese artist whose multidisciplinary practice delves into the complex relationship between nature, culture, and human perception of the landscape. Her work, encompassing drawing, sculpture, photography, and installation, frequently explores botanical themes, drawing inspiration from historical gardens, scientific expeditions, and the classification of plant life. Albergaria meticulously examines how humans collect, organize, and interpret the natural world, often highlighting the colonial histories and power dynamics inherent in botanical exploration. Her art invites viewers to reflect on ecological concerns, the aesthetics of cultivation, and the intricate ways in which nature is both shaped by and shapes human experience.
