Maria José Oliveira: Eu que já fui eu

The exhibition "Eu que já fui eu" by Portuguese artist Maria José Oliveira brings together works that explore time, memory, and human connections, inviting reflection on continuity and transformation across generations. A central theme is the idea of a "seed" as a symbol of potential growth and change, depending on the conditions it encounters. The pieces offer a perspective on how everything evolves, transforms, and relates between past, present, and future.

Among the works on display, one piece evokes the shape of a seed, symbolizing what has existed and what is yet to emerge, balancing the visible and the hidden. The exhibition is open to all audiences, allowing each visitor to build their own interpretation. It is curated by Paula Parente Pinto and held at the Museu Nacional de Arte Contemporânea do Chiado in Lisbon.
