About the Item

Maria João Salema (aka JOAO SALEMA) was born, and spent her childhood, in Mozambique, Africa. She later moved to Lisbon, Portugal, and studied at Faculdade de Belas Artes de Lisboa. Salema became an Assistant Professor at Escola Superior Artes Design, Caldas da Rainha, and was an Instructor at the prestigious art school, AR.CO. (Centro de Arte e Comunicação Visual), Lisbon. She currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY, since moving to the United States in 2003. Salema’s work is held in the collections of Museu do Chiado, National Museum of Contemporary Art, and Culturgest, Caixa Geral de Depósitos, Lisbon, Portugal, as well as numerous private collections. Deep blue canvases emphasize the artist’s meditative activity. After openly subverting the soliloquy, Salema quietly defies the meaning of color. The large color fields, created through the use of glazes, acquire a vibrating surface on which quick sepia brushstrokes will allow one to perceive them as landscapes. Maria João Salema graduated in painting from the School of Fine Arts of Lisbon, and completed a drawing course at AR.CO, Lisbon, where she later became an instructor. In 2005 João Salema was awarded a grant by the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation. Maria João Salema has extensively exhibited and her work is represented at the National Museum of Contemporary Art (Lisbon), Culturgest (Lisbon), and Colecção ECO (Marvão). Her work will be representing Portugal in the 2015 Mykonos Biennale in Greece. Maria João Salema lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
