UMA LULIK__ was founded by Miguel Rios in 2017 and focuses on the debate of contemporary culture and artistic practices. The gallery represents Portuguese and foreign artists whose practices cover a wide range of supports and various forms of expression through the arts. Promoting artists on an international scale, the gallery holds monographic and collective exhibitions, works with Portuguese and foreign curators and participates in international art fairs. The partnership with international galleries and other institutions is part of the artistic and commercial strategy of the gallery, with the aim of presenting both Portuguese artists in the international market and foreign artists in Portugal.
