Meet Ana Malta, known in the art world as Numpara.
Born in Lisbon in 1996, is one of those artists who makes you stop scrolling and go, “Whoa!” She’s fresh, bold, and definitely not afraid to break a few rules in the name of creativity.
She is one of those artists who you just can’t miss.
What really stands out about Ana? It’s the organized chaos of her art. Her pieces are like colorful puzzles of emotions, experiences, and raw creativity, where layers of color, patterns, and shapes come together in an unexpected, beautiful mess. It’s the kind of art that draws you in, invites you to look a little longer, and makes you wonder: What’s the story behind this?
Ana’s work is rooted in spontaneity, where mistakes aren’t problems—they’re opportunities. She loves working with acrylics, oil pastels, and dry pastels, always blending mediums to create unique textures and effects. And through it all, her art becomes a visual diary of her thoughts and experiences.
Ana studied painting at the Faculdade de Belas Artes da Universidade de Lisboa and later got her master’s degree in Creative Industries Management from UCP-Porto. Her background alone gives her work a cool mix of creativity and business savvy.
Ana has been making waves in the art scene. She was one of the top 10 finalists for the prestigious “Prémio A Arte Chegou ao Colombo” in 2021 and won the “Prémio José Mendonça – Artes Visuais | Betar” in 2023. Recognized as a “Breakthrough Artist” by Cultura Inquieta at ArtMadrid 2024, Ana’s work is gaining international recognition.
From art fairs like Estampa Madrid and Atlanta Art Fair to galleries like Maria Porto and São Mamede, her art is capturing the attention of collectors and enthusiasts across the globe.
So, whether you catch her work in a gallery or stumble upon one of her pieces online, Ana Malta’s art invites you to dive into a world where chaos and creativity collide—and where every “mistake” leads to something brilliant.
