About

Matilde Travassos, born in Lisbon in 1986, studied Design at IADE and later pursued a Master's in Photography at Speos Paris. She spent several years working in editorial photography in London before returning to Lisbon in 2012. This move sparked a deeper exploration of her roots and influenced the evolution of her work.

As a photographer, Matilde is fascinated by how photography can unveil hidden aspects of the human experience. She believes that, like psychology, photography has the power to reveal the thoughts and emotions that lie beneath the surface. Her camera becomes a tool to draw out these unseen truths from her subjects.

Her work often focuses on themes like the origins of life and the search for the divine. Matilde is driven by a desire to go beyond simply capturing images. She aims to create art that touches on deeper meanings, using her photography to explore the core of human existence and offer a glimpse into the truths that shape how we see the world.
