Notes on Landscape #2, 2022
Mirror Series - Series fragmented windows shadow #2, 2021

“In Marisa Ferreira’s sculptures, we observe the use of strong metals, copper, and aluminium being folded and bent as it it were paper. Ferreira uses geometrical shapes and simple line to create a three-dimensional structure that plays with the perspective of its observer, while at the same time reflecting back to the viewer by use of mirrors and reflective surfaces. The artist, in contrast with the two previously mentioned, creates the liveliness of her pieces through strong, vivid, and primary colours. This vibrant use of colour, combined with the dynamic qualities of her sculptures, invites viewers to engage in an interactive experience, where percepion and reality continuously shift and transform.”

“ Reencontraram-se inúmeras galerias nacionais e embora algumas tenham investido em conceituados artistas internacionais, como foi o caso de Cristina Guerra com Lawrence Weiner, denotou-se, sobretudo, e como é devido, a representação de fortes nomes portugueses. Destaquem-se a Bruno Múrias com Rui Calçada Bastos, a Fernando Santos com Gerardo Burmester e Manuel Rosa, a Francisco Fino com a incontornável Helena Almeida, através da série Dentro de mim (2018), a Presença com Inês D’Orey, Marisa Ferreira e Maria Trabulo, e a Vera Cortês, vencedora do prémio Millennium para melhor stand, com três imponentes esculturas de António Bolota, Peça #1,#2 e #3 (2023). ”

Lost Futures, 2020

“A site-specific installation presented by Portuguese artist Marisa Ferreira, Lost Future (2020) takes its inspiration from Le Corbusier’s Plan Voisin (1925) – an urban development project for Paris comprised of 18 cruciform glass skyscrapers placed on an orthogonal grid of streets interspersed with green spaces. The plan, which was never implemented, envisioned demolishing the Marais neighbourhood as a way of solving issues of dilapidated and unhealthy housing, illness and overpopulation – thereby giving place to what Le Corbusier called the “city of tomorrow”, a symbol of European modernity and of the industrial era. Directly referencing this emblematic project, the cross-shaped column imagined by Marisa Ferreira evokes the gap between the utopian ambitions of the 1970s and the current property boom that pays no heed to the history and identity of cities such as Porto and Lisbon. ”
