Margarida Sardinha is a artist born in Lisbon, 1978, who
studied, lived and worked in London for ten years. Her cross-media work
comprises site-specific installation, film, animation, text, sound,
photography, and study drawings, which are by definition kinetic and
geometrically abstract. Its main focus is the production of abstract
optical illusions a propos the spiritual in art thus making concept
parallels with literature, philosophy, religion and science. Using
these perceptions she searches for spiritual/psychological stages of
consciousness and relates them with cycles of individual or universal
growth. Archetypal geometry, dynamic symmetry, symbology and colour
being the basis of the work are explored in a semiotic process of
building, photographing and animating these "signs" that are understood
as imprinted/innate forms of consciousness which enable us to see, hear
and speak aesthetically. Margarida Sardinha is represented by the Lisson Gallery.
