About the Artist

ARTWORK
The intercultural crossroad between Portugal, Africa and Brazil has been a milestone for her self-acknowledgement and the way her creativity has evolved. Journeys to Porto, London, Cape Verde and the return to Angola were key moments for her creative development.
Pursuing the true beauty of things and people, despite all the misery and pain, is her objective in painting. Not messing with complicated concepts or misleading visions. That is why she works figurative painting - for the live expression of the eyes and the attitudes, shapes and patterns, colours and environments.

INSPIRATIONS
Turner, Klimt, Degas, Goya, Paula Rego, Júlio Pomar
