About

The photography exhibition, ”LONGING.IMAGE", on view at the Portuguese Pavilion, promotes the photographic work of selected Portuguese artists.

“Image”, or “Imago” in Portuguese, comes from Latin and is recognized in many languages. "Longing" or "Saudade" is one of only a few words in Portuguese that does not have a literal translation in many other languages. "Saudade" implies a feeling of nostalgia. "Saudade" usually refers to the memory of something that was, or is, dear to us (family members or friends, for example), of something that gave us pleasure to live, to share, to feel and that always remains in our memory. "Saudade" came into frequent usage after 1415 when Portuguese explorers and mariners left their homes to discover new worlds.

This exhibition of photographs by select Portuguese artists shows different types of photography, which allow us to expand our visual experience and invite us to feel a wide range of emotions.

Rodolfo André dos Anjos Lopes, was born on March 8, 1999, in the city of Viana do Castelo – Portugal, and is one of the most recent Portuguese artists. Initially, he took the “Visual Arts” course at the Secondary School of “Santa Maria Maior”, in Viana do Castelo and in 2021 finished his degree in Fine Arts, in the field of Sculpture, at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Porto. However, he has already carried out several extracurricular training in the areas of cinema, photography and glass techniques. His connection with the city, where he was born and with his family, are the first starting points for his works. Pieces that have roots from the land, or family ties, form part of his artistic creation from an early age. Recently, he discovered another new work method that he has been using with great frequency: “My own BODY.” “My own BODY.” presents all the pieces based, almost entirely, on his body. He defines himself as egocentric and narcissistic, and believes that his work should be fully realized to his measure and idealization. Currently, he attends the Masters in “Plastic Arts – Sculpture”, at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Porto.
