Chaves | Our Artists – Coloured Pencils

On a journey through the creative and artistic emotional world, the Municipal Library’s Multipurpose Room is hosting the ‘coloured pencils’ drawing and painting exhibition during the month of September, a set of illustrative works characterised by shapes, colours and textures made with pencils, by Flavian artist Maria José Neves

Part of the ‘Our Artists’ cycle, this exhibition will be open until the 28th, with the opening scheduled for the 3rd of September at 17:30.

From an early age, Maria José da Graça Neves showed a remarkable aptitude for the visual arts, having won her first painting prize while still in secondary school, at the Nadir Afonso School. She went on to study Art and Design at Dr António Granjo Secondary School and took part in several group exhibitions, gaining artistic recognition for her passion for art through the various projects and activities she took part in.

She studied Visual and Technological Education at the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança and has been teaching this subject since 2003. Over the years, her creative and innovative pedagogical approach has infected and left an indelible mark on all her students, promoting art and education to build a richer society.

The exhibition, which is free to enter, can be visited from Monday to Friday from 09.30 am to 1pm and 2pm to 6pm and Saturday from 09.30 am to 1pm
