Branca Cuvier studied drawing, painting and jewellery at Ar.Co in Lisbon and at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam.
In 2020 Branca opened Jiboia Studio, her workplace and a co-work for creative people, where she also presents her work to the public twice a year at the Spring Open Studio & Fall Open Studio. Branca is currently living in Lisbon.
As an artist I am interested in psychology and anthropology. I study how the physical body interprets the emotional body and the relationship between them.
I love to explore the constitution of an emotional matter and process it in an anatomic way resulting in patterns, dances, logics, rhythms and cycles. I have been presenting the outcome of this process in diverse supports like drawing, painting, sculpture, body sculpture and video.
The artist role is to offer a mental space to the viewer so he can analyse himself.
Art should be a tool for human evolution.
