Biography
Lourdes Castro (born December 9, 1930, Funchal, Portugal) is a Portuguese artist renowned for her minimalist and conceptual works. Her signature style utilizes simplified outlines, often black silhouettes, to represent figures and everyday objects, creating a sense of starkness and isolation. These evocative images, sometimes presented as wall drawings or on colored backgrounds, challenge traditional representational art, inviting viewers to engage with the fundamental aspects of form and space.
