Maria Helena Vieira da Silva Art

French, 1908-1922

Maria Helena Vieira da Silva was born in Lisbon, Portugal. At the age of 11, she had begun seriously studying drawing and painting at that city's Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid. In her teen years, she studied painting with Joseph Fernand Henri Léger, sculpture with Antoine Bourdelle, and engraving with Stanley William Hayter, all masters in their respective fields. Vieira da Silva also worked with Fauve artist Achille-Émile Othon Friesz. In 1928, Vieira da Silva left Lisbon to study sculpture in Paris but in 1929, she decided to focus on painting. By 1930, she was exhibiting her paintings in Paris that same year she married the Hungarian painter, Árpád Szenes. After a brief sojourn back in Lisbon and a period spent in Brazil during World War II (1940–47), Vieira da Silva lived and worked in Paris for the rest of her life. She adopted French citizenship in 1956. Vieira da Silva received the French government's Le Grand Prix National des Arts in 1966, the first woman to be honored with the coveted award. She was named a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor in 1979. She died in Paris, France, on 6 March 1992. Her name sometimes appears written as Elena but the correct version, in Portuguese, is Helena.

Papillion -Limited Edition Giclée print on Archival Cotton Paper, Abstract, 2018
Located in Bal Harbour, FL
Papillion, 2018 Giclée print on Archival Cotton Paper. Acid and Lignin-free. The painting is a limited edition Giclée print, created using high-quality archival cotton paper, ensuring its longevity and preserving the intricate details of the artwork. The central image of the composition features a butterfly, but instead of traditional organic patterns, it is formed by a captivating arrangement of geometric figures. The butterfly serves as the focal point of the painting, capturing the viewer's attention with its bold and vibrant colors. Shades of fuchsia, blue, orange, green, white, black, yellow, and light blue interplay harmoniously, creating a visually striking and energetic composition. Upon closer inspection, one can discern that the butterfly's wings are constructed using a meticulous arrangement of various geometric shapes. As the viewer's gaze explores the painting, they may notice that within the composition, there are additional elements arranged in the form of eyes. These eyes, composed of circles of varying sizes and triangles, lend an intriguing depth and surreal quality to the artwork. They evoke a sense of introspection and invite contemplation about the interplay of perception and reality. Papillion, 2018 Giclée print on Archival Cotton Paper. Acid and Lignin-free. 28 x 20.6 inches Edition 3 of 10 +2 AP Price: $2,400 Limited edition Signed by the artist __________ About the Artist Francisca Oyhanarte...
