olema exhibition catalogue

The "Passos que foram os meus" exhibition catalogue is a 72-page publication that captures the life and work of Marília Olema, a Portuguese ceramist based in Porto. Designed and written by Beatriz Salvador, the catalogue links Olema’s artistic journey with her personal history, covering key periods from the 1940s to the 2020s across different cities in Portugal and beyond.

Featuring 64 photographs of Olema's ceramic pieces, the catalogue blends biographical insights and historical context to provide a deeper understanding of her work. The design includes a minimalist white cover with custom embossing of the artist’s name, reflecting the subtle elegance of Olema's approach to art.

Beatriz Salvador was deeply involved in the project, curating the exhibition, writing the content, designing the layout, and photographing the works.

The catalogue was printed at AusDruck in Berlin in January 2024.
