Teresa Milheiro
Palacete dos Viscondes de Balsemão
Free Entrance
July, 3rd-22nd
Description: Teresa Milheiro’s work is usually inspired by the environment that surrounds her. Her works express the irony with which she approaches issues related to society, social values, politics, economics, wars and environmental issues, assuming an interventionist character that contains powerful political and social commentary. Rejecting the interference of an inspiration based in the imprisonment to rigid forms of work, she creates pieces influenced by certain found objects, as well as starting from an idea or concept. Depreciating its material value, Teresa Milheiro takes jewelry as something spiritually valuable. Free from concerns related to the target audience, her creation process notes the intrinsic need for expression of the idea. Although considering the jewelery as a form of expression, Teresa Milheiro distinguishes the jewel as a transported piece. By gaining greater visibility in the interaction with others, its use involves, sometimes, a sense of courage.
