TONI DE FARIA MACHADO

TRADITION | HERITAGE | LABOR | SELF-REFERENTIALITY | SENSITIVITY
I was born in 1998 in Felgueiras, Porto. From a very early age, I developed the sensitive, the aesthetic and the detail. I believe that little touches bring out the final experience of living and enjoying.
My work arises from the quest to understand and honor my family and origins. In the traditions where I came from, the textile has the main role given by my great-grandmother who entrusted the women of the family with the labor of crochet, embroidery and sewing.
In 2016 I finished high school in Design, from where I draw my experience mainly in graphic design and product design.
In 2020, I got my degree on Fine Arts - Sculpture, at the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Porto. Here, in addition to largely developing textile sculpture, I acquired interest in other areas such as stone's sculpture, photography, ceramics and printing techniques.
