In Eis-me, sou uma poeta, irei ao entardecer (Here I am, a poet, leaving at dusk), Manuela Pimentel approaches the figure of the poet not through writing, but through images. Her work proposes a way of looking that seeks beauty, mystery and the possibility of renewal in what often goes unnoticed. Taking something inherently ephemeral, the advertising poster, and transforming it into a form associated with permanence and cultural memory, she creates a body of work that exists between preservation and reinvention. Faced with a world saturated by images and information, the artist invites us to pause, look closely, and uncover what lies hidden beneath the surface of things.

Created from a large tile-inspired composition, Calçada da Estrela takes the form of a series of 49 unique works. Characteristic of Manuela Pimentel's practice, materials collected from the street enter into dialogue with the visual language of the Portuguese azulejo. Through processes of cutting, layering, and recomposition, traces of typography, colour, and material are transformed into singular compositions that establish unexpected connections between contemporary urban life and cultural heritage.
