Alice Quaresma was born in Brazil in 1985. She is currently living between New York and Rio de Janeiro. Alice got her masters degree from Pratt Institute in 2009. In that same year, Alice was the winner of PS122 Award. Alice moved out of her hometown, Rio de Janeiro in 2003, when she got accepted to study fine arts at Central Saint Martins School of Art and Design. Since 2009 Alice has won awards, open calls and participated in residency programs in the USA, Europe and South America.
In 2015, Alice had her first solo show in São Paulo, Brazil and her work was included in the Sayago & Pardon collection project “Abstraction in Action”. Alice already had her work published in major magazines, newspapers and websites in Brazil, Japan, US and Europe. Most recently Alice has been producing projects that involve photography, and ways to explore the limits of the photo medium. She is eager to experiment with materials that allow her work to be sensorial and pushes the boundaries of the photo medium.
