Maria Helena Vieira Da Silva

The unbelieveable is believeable, just take a good look.

Pic Image Image Image

Maria Elena Vieira da Silva was born in Lisbon (Portugal) in 1908 in a wealthy family. Her father disappeared when she was only 2 years old. Her mother supported her early artistic-interest. She drew from the age of eleven, and sculpted at 16 years old. She made numerous journeys with her family, these journeys awoke her to the art. The girl joined, naturally, Paris when she was twenty years old. . . .
