About Nagoia
Inquietude, curiosity and vulnerability leads NAGOIA’s movement around her core, her essence, her authenticity.
Nadia Neves was born in Santo Antão island, Cabo Verde. Since she was 8 months old, she got used to environment changes, from island to island, each 2 years. This dynamics she experienced since very young has feed her inquietude, her strong adaptation capacity, her curiosity and passion for exploring the unknown.
When she was 7 years old, she moved to Lisbon, where she studied arts during high-school, then she graduated in civil engineering in which field she has dedicated a big part of her professional experience.
Side by side to Science which provides her structure, Nadia meets the balance in Art, through word and image. She has integrated, through her experience, that Art & Science is a binomial inseparable and intimate to her essence.
Her immersion into both worlds African and European and, most recently to Asia and Latin America provided her a special vision about the whole and a strong connection to the root.
She embraces together her passion for traveling, fusion in new cultures and photographing people faithful to their essence and roots.
In photography, her favorite theme is portrait, which allows her discovering and manifesting her ability to release talent.
My mission…
Through nagoia’s concept Art: Ability to Release Talent, my mission is helping people finding and manifesting their own nagoia – which turns around their center, their essence and their authenticity – through the art of transformation.
… vision…
Nagoia represents the bridge which makes easier the connection between soul and body’s spiritualization.
It’s about building the bridge which connects both margins of reception and manifestation.
… and values.
My transformation process brought me the following motto, already intimate to my way of living: I receive with humility to manifest with responsability.
Sbid na Vida
Nagoia manifests and rescues the movement from non-movement.
The trips she does into the tribes and cultures provide an encounter with the ancestry.
In this picture, Nagoia is at Kliptown, Soweto, where she volunteered with kids with huge inner richness, belonging to a very poor neighbourhood.
That volunteering ended up with a photography exhibition “I see them blossom”, which brought the poorest neighbourhood of SA to one of the richest in Johannesburg. These bridge allowed a magical sharing between these “two worlds”, promoting love and brotherhood.
All the exhibition profits were given to Little Rose Centre, who made lovely improvements to the kids’ rooms and also created volunteers’ lodging.
Through movements like this, Nagoia helps the rooting of the African affirmation“I am because We are”.
