Ana Pinho Vargas

Ana Pinho Vargas is a Portuguese artist, photographer and painter based in Porto. She grew up in Lisboa and now lives and works in Porto. She has a bachelor's degree in Photography and Visual Culture from the Faculty of Design, Technology and Communication in IADE European University in Lisbon in 2019 and a master’s degree in photography from the School of Arts of Portuguese Catholic University in Porto in 2022.
Since an early age, she always had an interest in arts and music. Her parents are both musicians, her father is a pianist and composer and her mother is a harpsichordist and music teacher and her twin brother is a double-bass player currently in the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra. Ana studied music from a very young age, starting with her first instrument the violin and then the piano and harpsichord. 

Her photography work has been exhibited in Porto and Lisboa. Her main exhibitions include “Silêncio”, in Mute Gallery in Lisboa in 2018 and “O diário”, in the School of Arts of Portuguese Catholic University in Porto, in 2021.
Her artistic practice involves music, photography and abstraction. She thinks about the image musically. The search for different melodic forms acts as a means of abstract self-representation, where she records her own reality.
She will participate in the XV Florence Biennale in 2025 and she will exhibit her work "Silêncio" in Barcelona this November with Leonardo Collective.
