Antonieta Martinho<br />

Portugal<br />

Antonieta Martinho was born in <strong>the</strong> Democratic Republic <strong>of</strong> Congo. She graduated<br />

in medicine from <strong>the</strong> University <strong>of</strong> Lisbon in 1974. Antonieta has always shared her<br />

life with art and has a special affinity with painting. She started to learn how to paint<br />

in 2006 and is currently improving her knowledge <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> techniques <strong>of</strong> oil painting<br />

at <strong>the</strong> National Society <strong>of</strong> Fine <strong>Art</strong>s in Lisbon. Her artistic output begins with <strong>the</strong><br />

exploration and deconstruction <strong>of</strong> selected images: she manipulates <strong>the</strong> various<br />

forms as <strong>the</strong>y emerge, transforming <strong>the</strong>m into new, abstracted metaphors. At<br />

times, some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se allegorical images impress on <strong>the</strong> imagination an expression,<br />

an atmosphere and an intensity where <strong>the</strong> symbolism creates a language which<br />

becomes our own.<br />
