Early life
Duarte was born in 1961 in the village of Praia do Ribatejo, in the municipality of Vila Nova da Barquinha, Portugal. She graduated in design and communication from the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Lisbon and lives and works in Lisbon.[1][2]
Artistic career
Duarte's work integrates drawing, sculpture, installation, and architecture, and involves the manipulation and composition of everyday objects. She draws inspiration from the gestures of daily life, revealing the networks of exchange that form the foundation of a community. She received support from the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in 1996 and from the Luso-American Foundation for Development (FLAD) in 2001. Further sponsorship was provided by the Gulbenkian in 2006. Since the late 1980s she has exhibited regularly, both in individual and collective exhibitions. In 2021 she was one of 40 artists chosen by the Gulbenkian for an exhibition of 20th-century Portuguese women's art, called All I Want (Tudo O Que Eu Quero).[1][2][3][4][5]
Between 1996 and 2011 she was a teacher in the drawing and painting department of the independent art school, Ar.Co, in Lisbon and also taught in other institutions in the city. Her work is present in the collections of the Portuguese bank, Caixa Geral de Depósitos, of the EDP Group Foundation, of the PLMJ Law Firm Foundation, of the Lisbon City Council, of the Portuguese State Contemporary Art Collection (CACE), and in that of the artist Pedro Cabrita Reis as well as in other private collections.[1][2][3]
