Guilherme Sota (Guilherme Antunes, 2001, Aveiro) is a multidisciplinary artist
and co-founder of the hybrid art collective Vertigo. He holds a degree in Fine Arts,
with a specialisation in Painting, from the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of
Porto (2019-2023), and currently develops his work between Porto and Aveiro.
His artistic practice encompasses several areas, including painting,
drawing, music, installation and writing, and from such plurality results
a work marked by immersiveness, in which themes like Mortality, Being,
Sexuality and Iconography are explored in a direct and corporeal way
Since 2020, his work has been exhibited in numerous group exhibitions,
namely in three editions of the ‘Exposição Concurso Aveiro Jovem Criador’,
Museu Santa Joana, Aveiro, in the exhibitions ‘Bradar às Flores’ (2021), ‘FBAUP:
Calling - Emergir’ (2021) and ‘Do Avesso’ (2020) at the AL859 gallery, Porto,
‘Volto Já’ (2023) and ‘As fotografias e o resto’ (2023), at oMuseu gallery, FBAUP,
Porto, as well as in various exhibitions organised by the Vertigo collective. His
work was also shown solo in the exhibition ‘A Destilação da Carne’, at the
ICBAS Foyer, Porto (2023), and he is currently preparing a solo exhibition ‘Do
Ser e do Seu Desvelar’, at ÁRVORE Cooperativa, Porto (2025), aswell as for
the exhibition ‘Diástole’ at Centro Cultural Penedo da Saudade, Coimbra (2025).
He received the ‘JCA2 - Jovens Criadores na Árvore’ award (2025), two author’s
honourable mentions in the ‘Jovem Criador Aveiro’ contest (2021 and 2024), and
was one of the selected artists in the ‘Artist Selected - Art2Act’ contest (2021).
Together with the Vertigo collective, he conceives, organises and curates
hybrid events in which artistic exhibitions intersect with collective liberation
movements, seeking to develop multidisciplinary and immersive spaces. His work
with the collective aims to strengthen the relationship between the viewer and the
work, as well as to transform the contemplative experience into one of intimate
involvement, whether through painting, performance, music or installation. He
also produces all the graphic design and videographic work for the collective.
