Profile
After studying architecture across the globe and working for a couple of years in London, her passion for art and aesthetics and her urge to create at a faster pace led Inês de Almeida e Paiva to found fresca studio in 2020.
Fresca studio is an art studio working on relief prints inspired in shapes of architecture, design and nature. All the original works are part of limited editions, handmade and individually inked and pressed by a single pair of hands.
As a result of this printmaking technique, each print is unique – with a style that is defined by graphic abstraction and bold geometric shapes. Each relief print is part of a collection, allowing customers to have them stand alone or to mix & match to customise their walls.
Fresca studio intends to establish itself as a Portuguese artistic project, which stands out for the uniqueness and exclusivity of the works and for the attention to detail.
The project has a social conscience side to it, with 5% of profits on prints reverting to a charity or a cause the artist stands up for, changing every season.
“As an architect, I truly believe in the importance of art as a way to craft one’s spaces and make them unique, but I also know how much more significant it is that each piece is original and made by one pair of hands. I really hope you like these prints as much as I enjoyed making them.”
