I Like Insects / Insects Like Me. 2009
Installation of oil paintings
Aguiar who lives between Lisbon and Tangier creates works that reflect her real life fears and manias. "I am terrified of insects, I hate them; so I draw them obsessively to subdue my dread," says the artist. Her resplendent miniatures harmonise with the ornamentation of the large, wooden doors as though they were embellishments decorating the Palais Bahia. They recall the clamourous life of the past inhabitants of the palace and a time before tourists began arriving here, in this glittering city of the Moroccan south.
