Have eyes bigger than one's stomachJoanna Latka back to the Salgadeiras Gallery with her latest works focusing this time the subject of observation and interest, in the topic of Portuguese gastronomy. Taking this expression, which curiously also exists in their mother language, Polish, Joanna Latka, with her curious eyes and artistic sensitivity, portraits various situations in Portugal characteristics using typical Portuguese dishes. This, however, is only a pretext, a metaphor that Latka used to characterize a people, their habits and customs. The premise "I observe, once I am," stated by herself, assumes a new aesthetic and artistic aspect. Drawings of a daily basis in which Latka is always very conscientious, serves as a starting point for his artistic process.

histories of other times - Joanna Latka & Maria Toskovic & Daniela Crespi



















The legends and stories contribute to the cultural formation of the people, as they build a certain way of life, in their moral or the way they act through the habits, customs and language of the picturesque region.
Legend is a whimsical tale transmitted by oral tradition through time.
From the fantastic and / or fictional, the real facts and legends combine with historical facts that are simply unrealistic product of the imagination of human adventure.


The picturesque language, typical of a region, used in the reporting of the facts results in a form of expression and beliefs preserved, form the cultural identity of people and a nation.


Since the foreign artist living in Portugal, Joanna Latka chose this theme to highlight the importance of the roots of a people that in different contexts and so entered the life of each one.
