I am an artist who has been exhibiting regularly since the 1990s.
Most of my work deals with science in a conceptual and playful way.
I transform true scientific hypotheses into poetical, ironical, or plastic possibilities.
This includes the BBB Effect, where I investigate and record a self-created bacteriological accident that alters the relationship between closed inhabited spaces (mostly kitchens) and their inhabitants: the Burned By Blue collapse. It also includes the remake of skeletons of imagined creatures and the Maps of an Earth-to-be.

I also have intensive activity in drawing, both as a draughtswoman and as a scholar, as I teach drawing at the Faculty of Architecture, University of Lisbon, where I am a Full Professor.
My interest in drawing relates not only to human-made drawings but also to accidental images, particularly those resulting from mechanical devices.

As an academic researcher, I am interested in the cognitive processes involved in the act of drawing and in its specificity as a mode of non-verbal communication.
