I discovered a new-to-me artist today, via my online art club:
Maria Helena Vieira da Silva
Maria Helena Vieira da Silva (1908–1992) was a Portuguese abstract painter. She was considered a leading member of the European abstract expressionism movement known as Art Informel. Her works feature complex interiors and city views using lines that explore space and perspective. She also worked in tapestry and stained glass.
