About

Rita Almeida is a Portuguese artist based in Amsterdam, who has started her artistic journey in 2022. Her expressive portraits explore emotion through experimental color, texture, and materials. Painting quickly and instinctively, she creates rough, sketch‑like works using oils, acrylics, and pastels, occasionally extending her practice into street art. During the week she works as a research manager delving into the interface of creativity and scientific innovation - a source of inspiration for her art.

Her portraits embody this duality: analytical yet emotional, structured yet spontaneous.
