Helena Almeida

Helena Almeida an artist which inspires me everyday in every way. Portuguese artist who emerged to the Portuguese art scene in the early 1060ies after studying at the University of Fine Arts in Lisbon. Her work mainly revolves around black and white photography, but she is not a photographer. She always uses herself as a model, but her images are not self portraits.

"I turn myself into a drawing. My body as a drawing, myself as my own work"
"To live the experience of black was an experience of expansion in an uncontrollable live space. It was as if my inner self had fled to the extremities of my body and finding no further refuge, left, branching out and spreading over an indeterminate exterior" Helena Almeida.
