Visual Arts
Tavares was born in Lisbon in 1962. At the age of twenty she enrolled in an illustration course with renowned Portuguese painter Maria Keil at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and soon began exhibiting her own work. In 1988, she graduated with a degree in painting from Lisbon School of Fine Arts. She has held more than twenty solo exhibitions in Portugal and participated in group showings in Argentina, Brazil, Luxembourg, Poland, Spain, Switzerland.[3] Her artwork reflects an exploration of intimate spaces, everyday objects, and interiors of homes both inhabited and uninhabited with uncertain chronology, ranging from the 1800s to modern times.[4][5]
