VALENTIM QUARESMA
Valentim Quaresma trained in Jewellery at Ar.Co and has developed a practice that brings together Fashion, contemporary jewellery and art. Between 1990 and 2010, he created jewellery and accessories for Designer Ana Salazar’s collections. In 2008, he won the Accessories Collection of the Year award at the international competition ITS#7, in Trieste, and launched his eponymous brand. Since 2011, he has been part of the official Lisboa Fashion Week calendar.
Material experimentation and upcycling are central to his work, transforming everyday objects and materials into jewellery, accessories and sculptural pieces. Alongside his collections, he has developed an artistic practice through participation in national and international exhibitions. He has been invited to exhibit in several exhibitions at Galeria Espaço Exibicionista in Lisbon and also creates costumes for theatre.
Valentim Quaresma is a member of P’la Arte, a platform dedicated to promoting art and independent Fashion in Portugal. Alongside his creative practice, he also teaches Fashion Design and is a lecturer on the Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Fashion Design and Production at Lusófona University in Lisbon.
