Filipa Viana is a visual artist born in Porto, the city where she works and resides. She grew up in a family environment where aesthetics and beauty played an important role in daily life, developing a sensitivity to color and composition.

This, combined with her degree in painting from the University of Fine Arts in Porto, provided her with the technical knowledge and conceptual framework necessary for her artistic practice.

Filipa is continuously seeking new ways to express herself and perceive the world around her, and she is passionate about inspiring others to explore their own creativity.

In 2006, she completed her bachelor's degree in Painting at the University of Fine Arts of Porto.

In 2014, she finished her master's degree in Art and Design for Public Space and began taking contemporary dance classes, which have been part of her routine to this day. In this journey, Filipa found inspiration in the brushstrokes of Impressionism, the composition of Abstractionism, and the choreographic movements of dance. Through these influences, Viana discovered the necessary elements to explore her artistic narratives, using various mediums such as painting, sculpture, and even illustration.

She subsequently pursued a postgraduate program in Illustration and Animation in ESAD Matosinhos.

She is an artist where the sense of movement, the body, gestuality, and processes find reference in the world of dance, theater, and performance. Currently, her pictorial work represents poetic narratives about the experience and boundaries of the Body. The body that touches the world and allows itself to be touched by it. It brings a sense, but it is not the meaning. It serves as a vehicle of experience that allows us to contemplate the universe, containing it within itself, while acknowledging its ephemerality and the potential held in that fleeting moment, lasting as long as a blink of an eye.

Viana sees in the transformation, processes, and layers superimposed, as well as in the brushstrokes that redefine themselves with each decision-making, opportunities for maturation, emerging possibilities for new ways of representing, composing, and (re)discovering places of harmony. This constant search versus dissatisfaction promotes a dialogue about the importance of transience and the traces it leaves behind in the construction of her pictorial works.

Her works have been awarded honorable mentions, such as the XIX Spring Salon at Casino Estoril in 2006 and the 8th Edition of Young Creators by Fidelidade Seguros - Caixa Geral de Depósitos in 2004. Since then, she has exhibited in some galleries in the national territory.
