The Paulo Neves Atelier is located in the town of Vila de Cucujães, within the Santa Luzia area, which is part of the municipality of Oliveira de Azeméis. This location allows visitors to discover an artistic space integrated into the village's environment, offering direct contact with the region's cultural production.
The atelier was conceived with a central premise: the constant interaction between natural light and sculpted forms. This careful architectural design aims to highlight the expressiveness of each piece, allowing daylight to emphasize the volumes and textures created by the sculptor's hand. The project reflects a clear intention to give due importance to the plasticity of the sculptures, placing them at the center of the visitor's experience through an environment that prioritizes their contemplation.
The atelier space offers a unique experience, organized into two distinct moments, though integrated into its exterior volume. There is an area dedicated to the exhibition of finished works, an environment that invites careful observation and appreciation of art in all its splendor. In contrast, there is also a more technical sector where visitors can glimpse the creative process in progress, observing unfinished works and gaining a close understanding of sculptor Paulo Neves's journey in materializing his ideas.
