Alice Dote (1992) is a visual artist and researcher. In her practice—encompassing oil painting, drawing, and printmaking—she develops a production with autobiographical roots, exploring the simultaneity between woman and child, city and home, desire and death, eros and thanatos. Between memory and fiction, self-writing opens to other possible existences. She is also interested in eroticism as a method, investigating multiple gestures and surfaces of engagement with the flesh of the image.

Her artistic training took place in Fortaleza, São Paulo, and Barcelona, at institutions such as Instituto Tomie Ohtake, MASP, Ateliê Piratininga, Barcelona Academy of Arts, and Porto Iracema das Artes. She is currently a resident at the Programa de Residências e Intercâmbios at Hub Cultural Porto Dragão. In recent years, she has participated in group exhibitions in Fortaleza and São Paulo, and has taught art courses in her studio and in public institutions.

a noite das mulheres ilegíveis (2025) is part of a painting research focused on sexuality and eroticism. Images photographed by the artist in intimate experiences—the gaze of a woman who is present and implicated—unfold from the cell phone screen to the painting surface, expanding the time of looking and the exploration of desire. The erotic, here, is understood not as a theme but as a painting method, capable not only of reproducing desire but of creating it—within the artist and with the other.
