Núria Balinha graduated in Fine Arts with a focus on Multimedia from the University of Porto in 2023. In 2022, she expanded her practice during an Erasmus semester at the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław, where she explored Media Arts in a new context.

She is currently studying a Master’s in Editorial Design at Elisava in Barcelona.

A deep fascination with color drives her work, as it embodies its energy, unpredictability, and capacity to reshape ideas.
