Helena Almeida
Portuguese artist (1934-2018)
Helena Almeida (11 April 1934 – 25 September 2018) was a Portuguese artist. She was born in Lisbon. She was known for her work in photography, performance art, body art, painting and drawing.[1]
Almeida exhibited for the first time in 1967.[2] Almeida used shutters or blinds which transformed into paintings. Her goal is to break down the ideas of a painting. Almeida's work was shown in the Tate Modern in London, the Museum of Art in New York City, the Museu d'art Contemporary de Barcelona, and also in her home town in Lisbon.[3]
Almeida died in Lisbon from a heart attack on 25 September 2018 at the age of 84.[4]
