Helena Almeida

[4] She exhibited a black and white photograph of herself wearing a canvas, arms spread and looking down – as in Christ carrying the cross.

[7] In the early 70's Almeida returned to three dimensional sketching, with drawings that use horsehair threads and appear to jump off the page.

The drawing was represented by the horsehair threads; painting in three colors – blue or red sometimes black; photography serves as a meta-narrative.

The broad range of her work and experimentation includes "design to cinema, from paintings to comics, from photography to sculpture, from architecture to performance.

"[8] Almeida's work is shown in the Tate Modern in London, the Museum of Art in New York, the Museu d'art Contemporary de Barcelona, and also in her home town in Lisbon.
