Biography
Born in Leiria, Portugal, Ana Pedro studied at Faculty of Fine Arts, in Lisbon, from 2012 to 2015.
Since 2022, the artist has lived and worked in New York.
Pedro had her debut exhibition at Arbor Gallery in New York in 2024.
The artist participated in several exhibitions and art fairs since that year in the Hudson Valley area, New York and Ridgefield, Connecticut.
Ranging from human and pet portrayals to botanical observations, Pedro’s works are often created utilizing dry mediums as pastels and colored pencils.
For Pedro, beauty is not in perfection but in the details. The nuances in facial features, birthmarks, beauty marks, asymmetry, scars, discoloration of the skin… all the so called “flaws” are what makes us human and unique. That uniqueness is what compels Pedro to explore and discover in her portraits, it being a human, an animal or other living elements.
Pedro’s artworks have been acquired by local and international collectors.
