Andrea Mastrovito participates in the first edition of the Bienal del Agua: The Traces of Water, taking place from 16 July to 6 September 2026 in Cascais, Portugal. The artist is featured in the main section of the Biennale at the Estoril Congress Center, curated by Demetrio Paparoni, the Biennale’s general curator.

The exhibited works are Quando il cielo finisce and La crociata dei bambini: a large-scale installation of open books spread across the floor and a monumental wall work in which engraving, inlay, painting, pastel drawing, and graphite frottage intersect to create a powerful and layered visual universe.

The first edition of the Bienal del Agua, opening to the public on 18 July, presents itself as an international platform of multidisciplinary excellence, bringing together artistic, technological, social, academic, and humanitarian perspectives. Its aim is to create a space for exchange between artists, scientists, researchers, activists, and citizens, fostering an interdisciplinary dialogue that contributes to greater ecological awareness and to the development of sustainable models for water resource management, as highlighted by Biennale director Consuelo Ciscar.

The exhibition unfolds across several venues, including the Estoril Congress Center, the Paula Rego House of Stories, NOVA University Lisbon, the gallery ThisMustBeThePlace, and the seafront area of the Cascais Cidadela Art District. In addition, the Oliver Water Capsule is located at the Cascais Cultural Centre.
