Nadiuska Furtado e Priscila Furtado são irmãs gêmeas, nascidas e criadas no Cariri, residentes em Fortaleza. Compõem o duo Uinverso desde 2014.
Treinadas em design multidisciplinar (2012), uniram influências artesanais, observadas desde a infância, do trabalho manual das avós e da região do Cariri, aos estudos e habilidades adquiridas em paralelo à prática do design. Ao longo dos últimos anos, desenvolvem uma linguagem própria como artistas visuais autodidatas, através de colaborações e exposições coletivas. Algumas dessas exposições incluem o 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).
"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
"Brazilian designers and sisters Nadiuska and Priscila Furtado’s work really stood out to me and shows us that with time and dedication you can make a distinct body of work that will be able to stand the test of time." — the189.com
"Brazilian twin sisters Uinverso’s work delves into the concept of perception and the different universes that exist in the same space, navigating the paradoxes and mysteries that structure society."

Nadiuska Furtado and Priscila Furtado are twin sisters, born and raised in Cariri, currently based in Fortaleza - Brazil. They have been working as the duo Uinverso since 2014.
Trained in multidisciplinary design (2012), they combined artisanal influences, observed since childhood through the manual textile work of their grandmothers and the Cariri region, with the studies and skills acquired alongside their design practice. Over the past few years, they have developed their own language as self-taught visual artists through collaborations and group exhibitions. Some of these exhibitions include the Arte Core festival (Museum of Modern Art, Rio de Janeiro, 2019), Buscando Recuerdos (New York, 2021) and Asahikawa design week (Japan, 2023).
