Lara Roseiro appeals to a reflection around feminism by emphasising the human experience around being a woman with a moral, social, political and cultural consciousness. By bringing the figures who she idealises alive with a particularly delicate trace in a soft and serene palette she brings out a certain interiority and voyeurism and communicates her vision of the domestic space in the female universe. Although her studio is quite inspiring itself, as it is located at the Parque Natural da Arrábida, she finds inspiration in Louise Bourgeois, Ana Vidigal, Lourdes Castro, Ghada Amer, Miriam Schapiro and Chantal Joffe.

“I am interested in feminism (which is simply the "doctrine or movement that advocates equal rights for men and women", in Dicionário da Língua Portuguesa, Porto Editora) though I do not (always) work directly on the subject. But I obviously have a series of works linked to the issue."
