Art Rooted in the Living World.
My name is Emma Lopes
My name is Emma Lopes I am an artist, illustrator and educator based on the coast of Portugal. Spending time in wild places is my favourite pastime and mother nature is my muse. A core belief which filters into every aspect of my work is that all life is interconnected. Every piece I create is a celebration of our natural world and a reminder of our precious interdependency on nature.
“The landscapes she inhabits are not treated as distant subjects but as living systems she participates in, and this perspective infuses her work with a sense of closeness and care.
Rather than positioning herself apart from nature, she frames her role as one of witness and participant, translating lived encounters into visual language.
Her work consistently reflects a belief that all forms of life are interdependent, and this conviction is not presented as an abstract idea but as something tangible and felt within each piece she produces.”
Work with Emma
Emma collaborates with nature-centred organizations and NGOs, using her art to amplify their message. She takes commissions for original paintings and can create designs for ecologically produced objects. Workshops and classes will soon be available online and in person, in Portugal.
