Valquiria Navarro

Valquíria Navarro is a Brazilian visual artist and researcher whose practice moves between sculpture, photography, and video. Her work explores relationships between body, space, and perception, investigating how movement, everyday actions, and subtle interventions in the environment can generate new forms of visual experience. Through small-scale sculptural objects, photographic documentation, and audiovisual practices, Navarro proposes situations in which inhabited space becomes a site for artistic experimentation. She holds a degree in Visual Arts with an emphasis on sculpture and a postgraduate specialization in Surface Design from the Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM), Brazil. She also completed a Master’s degree in Visual Arts at the same institution, where her research focused on hybrid processes between sculpture, photography, and video. Her investigation examines the relationship between body, movement, and territory, exploring how acts such as walking, inhabiting, and moving through space can become poetic and methodological strategies within contemporary art. Navarro’s artistic practice combines material experimentation and conceptual research, integrating artistic production with theoretical reflection. Through these approaches, she investigates the possibilities of image and object in relation to the surrounding environment, creating works that activate connections between landscape, memory, and spatial experience.
