Resumo(s)
Este projecto surgiu como um desafio na conjugação de duas áreas que sempre me
interessaram. Ciência na parte profissional da minha vida e arte que sempre procurei
acompanhar, desenvolvendo paralelamente trabalhos em pintura e cerâmica. Mas a beleza
do vidro, a sua transparência e leveza foram para mim sempre um fascínio e
um mistério. Características singulares que me assentam, me envolvem e me dão paz!
Surgira agora a oportunidade de me aproximar desse material, aprender vários aspectos que
com ele se relacionam, e fascinar-me com a criação de peças que nunca pensei poder
realizar.
Assim, abracei um novo desafio com a inscrição no Mestrado “Arte e Ciência do Vidro” na
Faculdade de Ciência e Tecnologia da Universidade Nova de Lisboa. Sistema de ensino
abrangente definido por um carácter internacional e uma prática e visão integrativas.
Comecei a debruçar-me na relação entre aspectos científicos e artísticos envolvidos no
âmbito deste mestrado e, aos poucos fui ficando receptiva à linguagem, fui descobrindo
onde se aproximam, e passei a acreditar num percurso que se entrelaça, num caminho que
se perspectiva cada vez mais desenvolvido, integrado e promissor.
Interessou-me em particular a luz, a transparência, a opacidade, as sombras e os contrastes.
Encontrar a opacidade no vidro fazendo várias experiências que me levassem a idealizar
combinações e contrastes com a transparência foi o meu objectivo
Naturalmente focando este tema, desenvolvi um trabalho em estúdio realizando uma série
de peças, algumas das quais apresento em exposição, parte integrante deste Mestrado em
Arte e Ciência do Vidro. Temas difíceis e/ou polémicos são aqui abordados sem que tenha
a pretensão de encontrar uma resposta. Mas a pesquisa que fiz foi muito enriquecedora e
motivou-me fortemente continuar a aprofundar o mundo da arte e do conhecimento do vidro.

This project came about as a challenge in the combination of two areas that have always interested me. Science in my professional life, and art, that I have always sought to embrace by simultaneously developing works in painting and ceramics. Glass has always been a passion to me. But the beauty of glass, its transparency and lightness have always fascinated me, also being a mystery. Specific characteristics that involve me and bring about peace! Now I have had the opportunity to approach this material, to learn several aspects that relate to it and be fascinated with creating works that I never thought I would be able to produce. I have therefore embraced a new challenge applying for the Master’s program in Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia, in Universidade Nova de Lisboa. I have started tackling the Artistic and Scientific aspects of this Master’s program, and, day by day, I have become more receptive to this language and to the intertwining ways of these new roads. I was particularly interested in light and shadows, the transparency and contrast with opacity. Pursuing opacity in glass through several experiments, synthesizing glasses of different compositions, and further comparing them with other transparent glasses, has been the first objective of this project. Focusing on this goal I have developed studio work, creating a number of pieces that I am presenting in exhibition as an integral part of this Master Glass Art and Science. Difficult and/or controversial issues are addressed with no presumption of finding an answer. Nevertheless, the research undertaken has been very enriching to me and it strongly motivates me to continue exploring the world of art while broadening my knowledge of glass. “Art is meant to disturb. Science reassures” Braque, Georges “Even the old masters know that beauty can be disturbing, and disturbing is beautiful” Fujishiro, Shige
