Nadiuska Furtado e Priscila Furtado são irmãs gêmeas, nascidas e criadas no Cariri, e residentes em Fortaleza. Desde 2014, formam o duo Uinverso.
Treinadas em design multidisciplinar (2012), uniram as influências artesanais que observaram desde a infância
—como o trabalho manual das avós e da região do Cariri—com os estudos e habilidades adquiridos em paralelo à prática do design. Ao longo dos últimos anos, vêm desenvolvendo uma linguagem própria como artistas visuais, através de colaborações e exposições coletivas. Algumas dessas exposições incluem Centenário Ciça do Barro Cru (Museu do Ceará, 2015), o festival Arte Core (Museu de Arte Moderna, Rio de Janeiro, 2019) e Buscando Recuerdos (Nova York, 2021).

Nadiuska Furtado and Priscila Furtado are twin sisters, multidisciplinary designers, artists, and illustrators from Brazil. Their artistic approach is inspired by the mysteries of the universe, nature, and music, which they express through abstract compositions. Additionally, their work draws inspiration from the craftsmanship of their grandmothers, which shapes their process of exploring and experimenting with materials.
Over the years, they have collaborated with editorial publications, cultural institutions, the music industry, and print-focused fashion brands. Some of their notable exhibitions include the Arte Core festival at the Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro (2019), "Buscando Recuerdos" in New York (2021), and the Asahikawa Design Week in Japan (2023).
"Un projet sensible qui met en lumière l’importance de la couleur et de la ligne, pure et dépouillée. Il donne vie à d’étranges personnages qui, de face ou de profil, dégagent une curieuse neutralité." — milkdecoration.com
"Decidimos incluir su trabajo por su capacidad para abastecer la mirada de imágenes que, en ocasiones, pareciera que pertenecen a otro tiempo. En su obra existen y surgen multitud de gestos, aperturas que nos interpelan. De repente nos invitan a llenarnos las manos de barro, a redecorar el vacío, a regresar a la raíz y a disfrutar del ahora y de Bowie." — thalamusmagazine.com
