Helena Almeida Portugal, b. 1934

"My Work is My Body, My Body is My Work"

“Over the last forty years, Helena Almeida has developed a body of work, which started with the process of exploring the limits of painting, transforming ideas and experiences into images. She combined the photographic image with the drawn line and the paint mark in compositions that examined space and drew attention to the surface of the work.” Filipa Oliveira
