About Me

Tita Costa
Criar é dizer algo. É uma necessidade íntima tão forte como beber ou comer. Ver, é como respirar e fazer é dar forma para que seja visto. Crio via pintura, texteis ou modelagem...e ser artista é mesmo a melhor maneira de se viver nesta vida. Bio: Although I was trained as a painter, my curiosity and creativity spread within different artistic scopes, as well as a painting. I painted professionaly for several years. Animated cinema was a love that years later I could experiment with computers. This led to an M.A qualification. But my long lasting love is textiles. Mum taught me textitle production as a teenager. I seem to be traveling full cicle.
