Joana Simães is a visual artist from Felgueiras, a small town in the district of Porto, Portugal. After studying Fine Art in high school, Simães moved to London in 2020 to pursue a degree in Fine Art at Middlesex University, graduating in 2023.

The core of Joana´s work goes from classically executed figurative oil paintings to more graphic paintings with the use of flat colors and less shading, onto hard surfaces in various sizes. Inspired by artists such as Goya and Michael Borremans, Simães explores the subtleties of human experience through both painting and, on occasion, video art.
