She experiments with her photographs in a sensorial and playful way, pushing the boundaries of photography as a flat surface. Exploring the ludic world of photography, she &nbsp;brings less rational qualities to her photographs in using paintings textures and materials. The Brazilian art movements: &ldquo;Neo-Concrete&rdquo; and the &ldquo;Tropicalia&rdquo; have been two consistent source of inspiration on Alice&rsquo;s practice.&nbsp;She has in her curriculum a number of awards, special projects invitations and residency programs, including the renowned Foam Talent Prize in Amsterdam. Alice already had her work published in major magazines, newspapers and websites in Brazil, Japan, US and Europe. Alice also creates special projects for brands who are seeking for new visions.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Alice Quaresma has been experimenting with materials that allow her photographs to be sensorial and playful, pushing the boundaries of photography as a flat surface. As the same time, her work explores the physical aspects of photography, she continues to use images from her personal photo archive to elaborate on the idea of displacement and identity. She uses her fascination for the ocean as a departing point to explore an imaginary world inspired by her journey as an immigrant. Alice explores the ludic world of photography experimenting with possibilities within images and other materials, bringing less rational qualities to her photographs. The Brazilian art movements: &ldquo;Neo-Concrete&rdquo; and the &ldquo;Tropicalia&rdquo; have been two consistent source of inspiration on Alice&rsquo;s practice. As she progresses on her studio practice, she continues to work over her photographs in various ways making the marks and use of material more present. She is curious to provoke questions into the viewer, when they look at the work not everything is given to them. The decision of working with geometry over the photographs is crucial for Alice&rsquo;s practice as geometry forms don&rsquo;t describe a definitive idea but introduce suggestive possibilities into the work.</p>

Alice Quaresma

<p>&ldquo;Fragmented Truth&rdquo; is about images that appear when we close our eyes by the ocean on a sunny day. It is a project that brings playfulness and allow a moment of escape. Where dreams and the imagination are possible.<br />In my continues urge to investigate subjectivity into photography, I continue to draw and paint over my photographs. The photographs are subtle and reveal the beauty of being present in a moment of disconnection. &ldquo;Fragmented Truth&rdquo; end result is a group of images that reveal the simplicity and encounters by the ocean.</p>

<p>As I continue to explore my photo archive, I am curious about our imagination over our memories that are led by the way a moment in time impact us. Our memories are not precise or portrait the truth, they are filled with emotional content. We Are One is a project that I dedicated to explore the period of time of an engagement, soon to be transformed in to a marriage between two people by their love for each other.</p>
<p>My fianc&eacute; is French and I am Brazilian. For every artwork on this series I overlap images of my hometown Rio with images of Paris, where he spent most of his adult life before moving to NY. All the images were taken by me during the course of my life. My goal is to bring this two places together creating an utopian space, just like in a marriage we are suppose to start a new life with each other, where each one brings their stories and essence. In each artwork I bring the images of Rio and Paris together as goal to create one place and by painting color lines and paint marks over them to enforce the presence of the imagination. The photo base works don&rsquo;t have the aim to describe a place but to open the imagination of the viewer in an utopian landscape where the images complete each other.</p>
