Massimo Dutti’s Art in Progress project was created with the mission of promoting the creativity of local artists from around the world.
Its latest collaboration has been with artist Ana Lima Netto, who has exhibited her work on the terrace of the flagship store in Lisbon.

His work reflects on the meaning of life and its transcendence. It is an expression of her reflection on the multiplicity of events she experiences in the temporal space she inhabits, dominated by cycles, polarities and rhythms. In the construction of her creative process, Ana Lima Netto is interested in reading philosophical texts from Classical Antiquity, which deal with the objectives, relationships and tensions inherent in human nature, and which are deposited in the unconscious of each one of us, as well as in the foundations of all cultures, from the West to the East.

in store :
Visually, Ana Lima Netto’s work is a construction of drawings that develop in two- and three-dimensional space through different supports, media and disciplines (drawing, sculpture and installation) where the line is the common defining element of everything visible and invisible, in its multiple dimensions. To emphasise the theme, in the materialisation of his pieces, he uses shiny transparent materials, generally from construction sites or everyday realities, which he appropriates and deconstructs, decontextualising and subverting their original use, thus creating new visual grammars that appeal to the archetypes of the human unconscious.
