Tinoh<br />
Maria Ernestina Bastos (Tinoh) was born in Maputo, Mozambique, in 1962. As<br />
a victim <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> process <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> decolonization <strong>of</strong> Mozambique, Tinoh moved to<br />
Portugal at <strong>the</strong> age <strong>of</strong> 14 but, even <strong>the</strong>n, she knew that her African roots would<br />
stay in her body, mind, spirit and artistic expression, forever! Since her childhood,<br />
Tinoh has experimented with <strong>the</strong> visual arts, impressing family and friends with<br />
her works using Styr<strong>of</strong>oam.<br />
Her art, initially influenced by <strong>the</strong> creations <strong>of</strong> such impressionist masters as<br />
Monet, Renoir, Van Gogh and Cézanne, has progressed to <strong>the</strong> use <strong>of</strong> an explosion<br />
<strong>of</strong> colour and texture in order to create original pieces. Movement and liveliness<br />
perfectly describe her paintings.<br />
