Ines Monteiro, Portugal


Born in Portugal from a large family

BA in languages, English.

French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese.

 Lived in Africa for couple of years, fascinated with the colours, influenced by those warm tones, today  I still use them. Later in Brasil, had the opportunity to meet a famous Portuguese artist, Pedro Leitao, who showed me the right way to build up my skills, also studied porcelain painting. Back in Portugal, Luis Guimaraes, a renowned oil portrait artist, was my next teacher. For five years ,he taught me the art and skills on oil painting. Proved to be a positive step in the right direction, for it enabled me to develop a good technique on painting and the use of colours. Those five years showed the importance of my choice; I thank God for having done so. Next, tried acrylic, and must say, enjoyed it straight away. Adaptation to this new media was quick and easy. Presently, watercolour, is my "passion"! 

I am absolutely passionate about this media! Attended watercolour  courses  with famous Masters, such as, Fabio Cembranelli, Brazil- Jeane Haines, England- Liu Yi,Cina- George Politis,Greece- Olivia Quintin,France- ,Idoia Lasagabaster, Spain-Eudes Correia, Brazil

 Developed interesting skills and  learned some "secrets". Painting is my very best and loyal "friend", always on my side, silent, present, soothing!Travelled around the world meeting artists, made new friends Painting is the most marvelous activity, a media, like oil, acrylic or drawing, can be a lonely work but keeps me in high spirits making me feel happy! Sometimes nice surprises happen, watercolour plays lovely, unintentional nice magic strokes. 

To learn more and more is my goal.

Born in 1948, trained as a chartered accountant and initially not part of the art world, I got into watercolor in the early 90s, by the greatest of chance, seduced by the phenomenon of pigment fusion. At the end of 1998, I deepened my experience first with Roland Palmaerts both during course sessions and during outdoor internships. I also flitted with other renowned watercolor artists in order to take stock of other ways of seeing this wonderful medium. After having essentially treated landscapes and flowers, I have devoted myself since 2014 to constructed abstraction which combines geometric rigor based on prime numbers while favoring the flexibility of forms and the evanescence of colored gradations. I wish to show, among other things, that, notwithstanding such a precise and rigorous construction, the global vision entails a difficulty in perceiving the exact reality of things.
