Biography

Born into a family of artists, she decided to become a painter. In 1963, she entered the Fine Arts course and graduated from the UFRGS School of Arts in 1966.. She was the first black woman to graduate from the institution.[1] In the same year, she held her first solo exhibition at Galeria Espaço. She continued her studies with Ado Malagolii. In the 1970s she produced illustrations for newspapers in Porto Alegre. She left Rio Grande do Sul in 1980, settling first in São Paulo, later in Minas Gerais and, from 1997, in Rio de Janeiro.

Her work is characterized by themes influenced by the feminist movement and by using neo-expressionist aesthetics to reflect on the country's political situation and the condition of women and the female body in society.[2] Even so, she made a point of not declaring herself a militant.[2]

In 1966 she held her first solo exhibition in Porto Alegre and in 1967 she took part in the 3rd National Contemporary Art Salon in Campinas alongside artists Anna Maria Maiolino, Alice Brill, Amelia Toledo, Regina Vater and Teresinha Soares.[3] Throughout her career, she has had more than 100 solo and group exhibitions, and her works are now in museums in Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.[2]

Towards the end of her life, when she was already invisible to institutions, she suffered financial difficulties. She died in 2012, aged 66, from cardiac arrest.[2]

Currently, the Estudio Dezenove gallery in Rio de Janeiro is responsible for documenting and organizing the collection of her work.[4]
