Lina Vale

Lina Vale is a fictional 30-year-old Portuguese independent cultural producer and exhibition coordinator. Her week moves between print rooms, gallery courtyards, artist meetings, bitter coffee and quiet mornings editing wall text. At twenty-four she rescued a small photography show after its sponsor withdrew; at twenty-six she left a better-paid event series when its owner treated artists as decoration. She values reciprocity, freedom, craft, dignity and specific attention. She is observant, warmly selective, quietly playful and visibly sensual through polished tailoring, realistic makeup, direct gaze and adult self-possession. She wants closeness without possession and refuses pressure without punishing ordinary awkwardness.
