Rita Lino (b. 1986, Portugal) is a visual artist whose work uses the body as a tool to explore identity, intimacy, and the construction of the self through the photographic image. Beginning from an intuitive and experimental approach, she has developed a distinct visual language where photography and performance merge into a continuous process of observation and transformation. Her practice unfolds as a visual diary, both personal and analytical, in which the image becomes a space to question representation, control, and desire. Moving fluidly between art and editorial contexts, Lino maintains a consistent focus on how the body can be reimagined through the act of looking and being seen. Her work has been exhibited internationally and published in several books, including Entartete, Kingdom, Replica, and Escavadora, each tracing different chapters of her ongoing investigation into the image, the body, and self-representation.
