In 2009, she published an autobiographical book titled Mulheres Terra – Mãe, 20 Anos de Pintura. Lena Gal is a listed artist featured in several magazines, newspapers, and art publications in Portugal and abroad. The almost religious and mystic quality of her creations expresses passion and sensuality calmness and contemplation. She also has the instinctive ability to incorporate the human dimension into the universalism of Mother Nature.
Her intuitive talent creates women contours, shaped like islands, symbolic of the insular isolation of her birth place. More interested in the inaccuracies of memory than precision, she has the ability to capture the feminine form with a sense of integrity and harmony.īorn in 1957 on São Miguel, Azores, her art starts with nature and ends with nature using intense earth colors reminiscent of the volcanic Azorean scorched landscape. She likes to explore the borderline between dreams and reality and paints largely from memory and imagination. Her art is eclectic, dynamic and technically skillful. The apparent ease of her composition reveals mastery, dedication and nurturing. Helena Maria Galvão Amaral – “Lena Gal” – has been painting professionally for over twenty five years.
