Bárbara Simões is a portuguese multidisciplinary creative who explores the sensorial potentialities of textile surface. Coming from a Fine Arts background, Barbara’s path through the RCA has been traced by her desire to discover different ways of enhancing our physical and sensorial connection with others and the world through her sensorial spontaneous intuition.
Learning how to express herself fully through textile matter, she focuses on acknowledging different ways of representing her creative thinking, through knitting. Simultaneously, she works on embodying her doodles through different techniques, giving them the importance she believes they need.
Acting in different contexts, Barbara focuses herself on developing a distinctive and playful body of work, which promotes a better understanding of our sensorial capacities and that emphasizes the importance of touch in our wellbeing.
