Carlos Mensil (1988) lives and works in Porto. In his practice has sought to expand the fields of drawing and sculpture, producing images and installations that explore the manipulation of form and matter in relation to mechanics, movement and light. In this territory of conceptual questioning, he intersects artistic creation with other areas of scientific and social knowledge. In 2024, he was a finalist for the FLAD Drawing Award and the Norberto Fernandes Award - Art and Technology, from the Altice Foundation.  Recent solo exhibitions include: "The Great Dance", curated by João Terras, Forum Arte Braga (Braga), 2026; “Smoke Signals”, Dentro  (Porto), 2024; “Lighthouse”, in collaboration with curator and essayist Eduarda Neves, Artes – Mota Galiza (Porto), 2023; “Risco Contínuo”, NO·NO Gallery (Lisbon), 2022; “Blind Drawing”, Galeria Ocupa (Porto), 2022; “ROTOR", curated by João  Silvério, Galeria Presença (Porto), 2021; “Redline”, Sput&Nik – The Window (Porto), 2020; and “And From The Dust It Shall Return”, Travessa da Ermida (Lisbon), 2019.
