Bianca DACOSTA is a contemporary visual artist whose work explores themes of identity, memory, and cultural heritage. Through painting, photography, and installation, she creates poetic and thought-provoking works that reflect on personal and collective histories. Her practice often engages with archives and symbolic materials to question representation, belonging, and transformation.
Water remembers. It seeps, stains, softens — leaving behind a quiet script on walls, on stone, on earth. In Madeira queimada corte fresco & Cinzas - Freshly cut burnt wood and ashes, Bianca DACOSTA collects these fragile inscriptions: traces of time, humidity, erosion, transformation. Each image is a surface in dialogue — with air, with light, with what lingers and slowly fades. The marks are not made, but revealed, as if the world itself had begun to write. Here, memory is not something we keep — it’s something that settles, gently, into matter.
