Location:

Located in the São Sebastião area of Ponta Delgada, OFICINA is situated in a quiet urban neighborhood, not far from the city's historic center. Its location allows for a relaxed visit, away from the hustle and bustle of busier spots, yet still easily accessible on foot.

The space is nestled within a residential neighborhood featuring local shops and services, providing a serene and welcoming environment. Its proximity to typical city streets offers an authentic atmosphere, allowing visitors to explore art within the context of local life.

Space and Atmosphere

OFICINA presents itself as an open studio where art creation and exhibition take place in the same location. The space is designed to be intimate and accessible, with a relaxed atmosphere that encourages observation and dialogue.

The exhibited works, by Azorean and international artists, range from painting, illustration, ceramics, and printmaking to other techniques, offering a diverse and intimate experience with artistic work. Direct contact with the creative process is one of the defining elements of the experience in this space.

Concept and Identity

OFICINA was created by artist Leonor, whose presence and direct involvement with visitors lend the place a personal and welcoming dimension. More than a traditional gallery, this is a living space where art emerges in different stages, from creation to public presentation.

The available pieces reflect multiple visual languages and sensibilities, with an emphasis on contemporary productions that maintain a connection to the island's identity and the individual expression of the artists.

Encounter with Art

For those who appreciate authentic spaces connected to local artistic production, OFICINA offers an opportunity to discover original works and acquire pieces directly from those who produce or represent them. The atmosphere encourages conversation, allowing for a better understanding of the context and meaning of each artwork.

This kind of proximity makes the visit enriching, even for those not looking to buy; a mere interest in artistic creation and the discovery of new visual and cultural perspectives is enough.
