Carolina Proença holds a BA in Art History by Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas da Universidade Nova de Lisboa (2018), where she also completed her Master¿s Degree in 2021, presenting a dissertation regarding the iconography of the Green Man in portuguese medieval art (twelfth to fifteenth century). Currently, she is a PhD student at the same institution, where she is developing a thesis dedicated to representations of time and images of temporality in portuguese medieval art. This project was granted a scholarship financed by FCT (Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia) and is supported by IHA (Instituto de História da Arte). This young student wishes to direct her investigation to unconventional themes of medieval iconography, especially in media like architectural and tomb sculpture in Portugal. One of the main goals of her research is to mesh the iconographical and artistic study with an understanding of the mentality and the sociology of art, in an attempt to approach the themes of medievality in a multidisciplinary sense, but also, she intends to really dive in to the polysemic meaning of medieval art manifestations in an effort to theoretically understand their symbolic structures and explore how these images were received by their audiences.
