ANTÓNIO JÚLIO DUARTE (Lisbon, 1965) lives and works in Lisbon.

In his words: “I photograph busy cities and troubled people, trapped creatures and unlikely things. They are my map of the world. I am attracted to them, moved by the sympathy and restlessness we share. I get to know these restless beings in their trivial tasks and daily dispositions, I sense in them and try to capture the vital tension that is the universal desire for life and meaning.”
His work has been exhibited regularly, in Portugal and abroad, since 1990, providing one of the most unique and consistent voices in the understanding of photography today.The following solo exhibitions stand out: Guiné-Bissau 1990 (Galeria Bruno Murias, Lisbon, 2023), FEBRE (Museu de Arte Contemporânea – Fundação de Serralves, Porto, 2023), CREATURE (O Armário, Lisbon, 2021), Eclipse (Galeria Bruno Múrias, Lisbon, 2020), White Noise (Quartel da Arte Contemporânea de Abrantes, Coleção Figueiredo Ribeiro, Abrantes, 2017), América (Galeria Pedro Alfacinha, Lisbon, 2017), Suspension of Disbelief (CAV, Coimbra, 2016), Mercúrio (Galeria Zé dos Bois, Lisbon, 2015) and Japão 1997 (Centro Cultural Vila Flor, Guimarães, 2013).
