Promoting wellbeing through culture
With the Art for Health project we want to improve the physical, mental and social well-being of the health professionals of our city's hospital.
The pandemic has been very hard for all of us but especially for these professionals.
We believe that art relieves the emotional tension felt by health professionals. This tension is even greater nowadays. The pandemic has changed the daily lives of all of us, but especially of those who are in contact with patients.
The artistic interventions take place in the cafeteria because this is a space through which all the hospital's health professionals pass: doctors, executives, administrative staff, technicians, nurses, auxiliary staff, etc.

Encouraging the relationship between health professionals and artists
This is a collaborative project. The artworks to be exhibited results from conversations carried out between the artists, health professionals and the Faro2027 team. All users of the cafeteria have the chance to get in touch with the artist through digital means. In this way the artists receive messages from those who are observing their artworks.

Régis Vincent
15th of January to 5th of February 2021 He began his artistic journey when he entered the course of Visual Arts at the University of Algarve in 2009/2010.Coming from a generation influenced by hip-hop/graffiti, his evolution in this Arts course made him start to explore other means of visual expression. Passing through painting and drawing, multimedia and illustration the artist came to find his artistic language in organic forms where the movement repeats itself again and again imitating the cycles that repeat themselves again and again in nature. In these works the artist tries to transpose a barrier imposed by the support he uses, trying to create an illusion of drawing in space, a space that is beyond the flat surface he is subjected to. |
