3. David Oliveira
David Oliveira was born in Lisbon in 1980. He holds a degree in sculpture from Lisbon University and
since 2005. Exploring the idea of line and space, Oliveira plays on optical illusion. Two dimensions
become three dimensional works of wire art. His wire sculptures evoke the appearance of a sketch
suspended. Fashioned only in line, the viewer fills in the space to see the character beyond.

4. Diane Komater
As a child, Diane Komater spent many hours in church studying the black leaded outlines of the
images on the stained glass windows that surrounded her. The expressive, brightly coloured human
forms, dramatically highlighted by their thick, black outlines, were early inspiration for the wire
sculptures that she creates today.
