ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Luísa Todi (1753 – 1833) was a popular and successful Portuguese mezzo-soprano opera singer. Luisa Todi was praised for her vocal abilities, her clear diction, her linguistic skills, her professionalism, her talent as an actress, and the emotion and sensibility with which she infused her roles — qualities that make her seem an extremely modern performer. These are the same qualities that have ensured that Luísa Todi is still remembered across the centuries. In modern Lisbon, the street in which Luísa Todi died was named Rua Luísa Todi in 1917. This is at the northern edge of Bairro Alto, just off Rua de São Pedro de Alcântara above the church of São Roque. She was also immortalized in her native city of Setúbal with a large monument

I am a Portuguese visual artist and I live in Chile.I have 3 children. I have had several individual and collective exhibitions throughout my life. I participated in the 1st Andiamericana Triennial of Art (1993) and I have exhibited twice at the Ralli Museum. I am a painting teacher at the Talagante Cultural Corporation and at the Peñaflor Space. I work in a great number of mediums, including oil, charcoal, watercolor, acrylic, pencil, photography and mixed media. My artwork can be found in many private collections across Portugal, France, Mozambique, Switzerland, Chile, Nicaragua, Argentina, Australia and England . - Latitude imposed - In me, there is also the spirit of the Portuguese sailors and adventurers. It all starts with the journey imposed from the old world, the colonial Portugal to Mozambique, in Africa, full of black ethnicity , magic, shapes, textures, lights and a fantastic colorful splendor .The distance between my dormant origins and the sudden awakening does not exhaust the endless question: Who am I? I experiment this fabulous latitude, mixing it with other lives, other pains, with the purity of color and pattern of tiles they call Mestiza . I built Attitudes from my Latitudes. In these Latitudes, I searched the jungle light seeds that populate my paintings and ceramics. In these Latitudes, I found the mestizo that inhabiting my works. My Latitudes and Attitudes and the mix of color and pain that confronted me during this precursor of life determine my pursuit of art within the human being, specifically in the Universe of Being a Woman. I am aware that in art, knowledge is to move, that art does not interpret, reveals, does not explain … shows the hidden side of the human being. What I paint is therefore a journey inside the mind … in the “doors and windows of the soul”, female territories of connection with Life and Divinity. These Latitudes, my attitudes and through Art I continued seeking the experiences of “Being a Woman”.
