About the Ebook
Victória’s completed drawings are densely and elaborately worked, revealing a remarkable sensitivity. Asymmetrically spread over a limited drawing space, her cities house sad people wearing bitter smiles or in tears. Sometimes she draws spirals and snails, or female genitals, symbols of fertility in a vast sea of vegetation. João Prates's text introduces the elaborate, labyrinthine and poetic drawings of Portuguese self-taught and outsider artist Victória (1944-2011). With more that 200 full-color images.
