Leiria, Portugal, 1976. Lives and works in Leiria and Lisbon.

Rita Gaspar Vieira works in the field of drawing and three-dimensionality, and her work has been problematizing the relationships between private and collective memory of inhabited places, highlighting the connections between daily practices and the artistic procedures that these practices constitute in her work, considering the creative difference achieved in relation to the expectation with which the actions are performed. In this set of practices, the use of water is crucial, particularly in the production of handmade cotton paper which, in her work, constitutes the genesis of her drawings and installations.
