In ESTUDOS, the studio becomes visible. Painting unfolds as thought in motion — exploratory, vulnerable, and deeply attuned to the quiet material life of perception.
Andrea Festa presents ESTUDOS, the first solo exhibition in Italy by Brazilian painter Pedro Liñares, held at Sala Nova in Rome.
The exhibition brings together a constellation of oil-on-paper works that illuminate the intimate, often unseen foundation of Liñares’s practice: the study as a site of inquiry, rehearsal, and revelation.
Created between Lisbon, Rio de Janeiro, Paris, and Berlin, these works reveal painting as both method and meditation — a fluid process in which observation, memory, and intuition converge. ESTUDOS makes visible the private logic of painting: the hesitations, urgencies, and quiet discoveries that shape an artist’s vocabulary.
