It is from Madeira island that pontoatelier seek inspiration from the past to draw the future.
An intense exploration of opening pathways where ideas are constructed. They manifest themselves through collages, models of different scales and materials, abstract or non-abstract drawings.
A contemporary dispora that is based on close human relationships and a quest for the construction of ideas on various scales. This is further amplified through academic pursuits, research, conferences, competitions, exhibitions, and scenography.
we are always looking for talented people, if you are interested in working with us, please send us your cv and portfolio at mail@pontoatelier.com
