“It Takes Soul” is the first solo exhibition by Carla M., a visual artist and communication entrepreneur, presented at the Museu da Misericórdia do Porto. The exhibition brings together a collection of works that merge ceramics, drawing, and painting.
Recognized for her series “As Minhas Gordas” — feminine figures filled with colour, expression, and humanity — Carla M. now reveals her drawings and paintings, where instinctive gestures, organic forms, and vibrant palettes translate deep emotions.
The exhibition arises from the awareness that art is more than what is seen: it is what is felt.
Between the strength of the figures and the delicacy of the details, Carla M. invites the viewer to look beyond the surface of shapes, in a sensorial experience where the essence lies not only in the eyes, but in the soul.
