ABOUTARTFORM

Founded in 2001 by Sofia Costa Freire, ARTFORM is a vibrant creative consultancy, entirely devoted to sourcing, commissioning and curating the finest quality art installations for inspired design projects.

Our mission is to deliver the very best art compositions, innovative ideas and expert advice for interior designers, art collectors and image – conscious businesses worldwide.

Sofia Costa Freire

Executive Director

Her future was set on an Economics degree, but she soon realized that her business was the Art Business… Sofia studied at Sotheby’s Institute, wrote a thesis on artist Paula Rego and worked at Sotheby’s London office, followed by Palacio do Correio Velho in Lisbon.

She advises various clients, collectors, interior designers and Architecture firms.

Furthermore, she has edited two books on artworks represented in private collections, “KWY/Nouveaux Réalistes” and “Pintura Alemã Contemporânea em colecções Portuguesas”, as well as a monograph of Nikias Skapinakis.

Catarina Boto Machado

General Coordinator

When she decided to continue her secondary studies at a professional design school her family was fairly supportive, not because they wanted her to, but because she didn’t give anyone a chance to think otherwise… Catarina is like that. The natural process followed, a degree in design from IADE. She dipped her toes in graphic design working at Journal Público, this made her realize that she needed a more creative challenge.

With her keen interest on aesthetics, when challenged by our project she gladly accepted and has spoiled us with her energy and good mood. Catarina Machado is our general-coordinator.

The object of art
is to give life a shape.
