Tereza de Arriaga, Portuguese painter (b. 1915)

Tereza de Arriaga, (Belém, Lisbon, 5 February 1915 – 12 August 2013) was a Portuguese painter. Having a very discrete and unusual career, she started with plastic arts motivated by the Neorealism in the 1940s, developing to more abstract works of geometric character. However it was only at the end of the 1960s that her work became more consistent. Maintaining her social sensibility as an aspect of her plastic expression, she developed into a deep exploration of colour and lines. Her works are simply signed "Tereza Arriaga" or "Tarriaga".
