Inês Pargana
In a simple tavern — a place where truths often rise more easily than steam from a warm meal — two women sit together, laughing with the kind of freedom that comes only when we feel utterly safe. They are nothing alike: one carries the calm of tradition, the other the boldness of someone who dresses as fearlessly as she thinks. Yet their joy meets in the middle of the table, where books or glasses of wine rest like silent witnesses to their shared moment. Peace often begins this way: in the comfort of being ourselves, fully and without restraint, beside someone who is different from us and yet entirely welcoming. Their conversation flows because there is space for both — for contrast, for curiosity, for acceptance. Here, at this table, peace is not an abstract ideal but a lived experience: two women, different worlds, one shared freedom.
Inês Pargana is a Portuguese visual artist. With a background in architecture, she dedicated a decade to that field before deciding to devote herself entirely to art. She has participated in several solo and group exhibitions. Her paintings are authentic visual narratives, often portraying singular women with multiple possible stories, distinguished by their scale, vibrant colours and expressive intensity, with drawing playing a central role in her artistic language.
