Mylene Costa’s sculptural practice is grounded in the understanding of the body not as representation, but as a structural field of tension, silence, and permanence. Her work operates within the thresholds between matter and suspension, where form precedes discourse and meaning emerges through presence.

Working with materials such as marble powder, resin, and bronze, Costa constructs forms that carry weight and stillness simultaneously. Subtle asymmetries, compressions, and folds suggest internal forces rather than external narratives.

Her sculptures do not describe the body — they become body: mass, density, silence. Time, in her work, is not movement but permanence; not passage, but accumulation.

Through this language, Costa articulates a contemporary sculptural thinking where the feminine is not a theme, but a structural principle — one that absorbs tension, redirects force, and sustains form.

Mylene Costa is a Brazilian sculptor based between Brazil and the United States. Her work explores the relationship between form, time, and silence through a sculptural language that prioritizes structure over representation.

She has exhibited internationally in institutions and galleries across Brazil, the United States, and Europe, including the Museu Correios (Brazil), Espacio Gallery (London), and White’s Art Gallery (Miami). In 2026, she presented the exhibition Forma e Permanência at the Legislative Assembly of São Paulo.

Costa has received several awards, including the Certificate of Artistic Merit at the Luxembourg Art Prize and recognition at the International Salon of Visual Arts SINAP/AIAP.

Her work is currently included in private collections and continues to expand into international exhibitions and institutional projects.
