Ana de Medeiros - Painter Sculptor

Ana de Medeiros was born in 1950 in Portugal in Lisbon.
The painter sculptor lives and works in Germany since 1970.
During the years as painter her style developed through an impressionistic period and a long phase of abstract figurative painting towards pure abstraction wherein she has finally found her strongest form of expression.

In her current paintings, the artist develops a game between the second and third dimension - A Corporal painting. By using different materials like structural paste or sometimes partially torn double coated canvases a second haptic layer emerges besides the sheer optical experience.
Narration by color, form and layers.


Series "La Chambre des Couleurs", started 2004 and is still in progress.
"La Chambre des Couleurs" which means "the room of colors" stands as a synonym for the life itself.
The painter sculptor Ana de Medeiros started this series with the painting "Entrée dans la chambre.." (entrance to the room..), a painting the artist meant to symbolize both an access to life but also an exit.
Right after entering the room of colors - though slowly - a process starts, like a game full of naivity, on search, without experience, characterized by minimalistic painting in basic colors on a rough and sandy canvas which again reminds of the artists country.
La Chambre des Couleurs, until now:
(2004-2005: Les premieres Impressions)
(2005-2006: La salle Orange)
(2008: Intermezzo)
