Working with reclaimed and naturally sourced shells, Dana creates artworks that merge sustainability, storytelling, and design. Each piece reflects her lifelong connection to the ocean and her belief in art as a legacy of calm, resilience, and harmony.

Based in the Algarve, Portugal, Dana discovered her artistic path during the pandemic in 2021. Since then, her large-scale shell artworks have been exhibited in national and international group shows, gaining recognition for their unique blend of contemporary aesthetics and natural materials.

Artist’s Statement

“The sea has always been my home and my teacher. With shells, I give form to its rhythm, capturing moments of stillness and flow. “Tides” is about embracing change and finding peace within movement.” — Dana
