Biography 


Isabel Soares dos Reis is a visual artist whose work is expressed through a contemplative, delicate, and rigorous approach to photography. Holding a degree and a postgraduate qualification in Psychology from the Classical University of Lisbon, she seamlessly merges photographic technique with a distinct psychological sensitivity, dedicating herself to the image as a profound form of artistic expression. Her artistic training was structured at the National Society of Fine Arts (Sociedade Nacional de Belas Artes – SNBA), where she completed her studies in Photography and developed an ongoing artistic project, complementing her path with studies in Art History and alternative photographic processes.

Her gaze focuses on stillness, minimalism, and the appreciation of the interplay between light and shadow. In her approach to landscapes, natural elements, and still lifes, the artist transforms silence, simplicity, and the search for peace into visual reflections on contemporary life.

With a consistent exhibition history beginning in 2019, her work has been showcased in prominent venues across Portugal. This includes exhibitions at the Galveias Palace (2025), the Patudos House-Museum, and the Levada Cultural Complex in Tomar, alongside regular exhibitions at Galeria Arte Graça (between 2023 and 2026) and at the SNBA itself.

Internationally, Isabel Soares dos Reis has been steadily consolidating her recognition through prestigious distinctions, most notably winning the silver medal at the global Exposure One Awards ("Photographer of the Year," 2025). Her project "Delírium" was selected for the IMAGOLISBOA Portfolio Review, and she has received honors from entities such as Instanta and Photographizemag. Her work also boasts a strong editorial presence, having been published and virtually exhibited by the prestigious Artdoc Photography Magazine. In 2022, her artistic vision was highlighted nationally on the TV show FOTOBOX (RTP3), reaffirming her place as a unique and poetic voice in contemporary Portuguese photography.
