She holds a Degree in Painting Fine-Arts from the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Lisbon and has been regularly exhibiting both in the UK and in Portugal.

How do we navigate the constant permanence of change in our lives?

Rosado’s work focuses on visually exploring the concepts of identity, memory, our own palimpsest of hidden thoughts and feelings and individual vulnerability in the face of life events. Music, the written word and the water element inform the creative process, both conceptually and visually. The painting process assumes major importance in visually exploring the relationship between writing and the layers of colour. Her pieces convey a visual metaphor of our restless inner world and possess atmospheric and contemplative features, that pause and breathe silence.
