Ep. #57: From the Hilltops of Northern Portugal - Maria Oliveira on Memory and Transition
🎙️ Welcome to Ep. #57 of The Urbanaut Podcast, presented in collaboration with Urbanautica.com. In this inspiring episode, we sit down with the deeply reflective Portuguese artist-photographer Maria Oliveira. Her work bridges memory, place, and the human connection to nature, offering an intimate exploration of her artistic philosophy and process.
About Our Guest: Maria Oliveira
Maria Oliveira's work is rooted in her upbringing in a small, isolated village in northern Portugal, where silence and nature shaped her artistic voice. Her projects explore themes of memory, motherhood, connection to place, and the fragility of life. Maria's poetic perspective merges the visible and the intangible, creating works that are as introspective as they are universal. Through photography and writing, she examines transitions and the cycles of existence, reflecting a unique sensitivity to the interconnectedness of humanity and nature.
