Ingrid Simons in Portugal

Het is bijna zover!!! Op zaterdag 19 oktober wordt bij Huub Hannen Galerie in Maastricht de publicatie 'So os caminhos eram meus' gepresenteerd te midden van een solo presentatie van recent (Portugees) werk. U kunt na de presentatie, als u participant bent, uw publicatie meteen meenemen. Ik hoop u allen te mogen verwelkomen op zaterdag 19 oktober!!

What great memories of the presentation of the pre publication in the Castelo of Evoramonte (Pt)!! Thank you so much for all the enthousiastic reactions on this preversion of the publication! Now we are preparing for the dutch presentation of the final version of the publication 'So os caminhos eram meus' on saterday the 19th of October 2013 in the midst of a solo exhibition of my 'Portugal inspired' work at Huub Hannen Gallery, Maastricht. The participants, who made this publication (a tributed to the influence of Alentejo, Portugal on my work) possible through their support, will on that day, recieve their own publication, but only after a very special presentation of this book, that will only be visible that day. It will be a true collectors item, and only a few will be available for sale. We hope to welcome you the 19th of October @ Huub Hannen Gallery! Thsnk you for your support!

Final presentation @ Fundacao Obras!!

Até logo Alentejo!!! Obrigada tanto queridos amigos e amigas de Fundacao Obras e de Portugal!! Foi muitooo bom!! Thank you so much for the great time dear friends of Fundacao Obras and Portugal!! I enjoyed so much! It was a very nice book launch and opening of the exhibition in the castelo of Evoramonte, that I'm very proud of (thank you for this great oppertunity!). I had a very inspiring residency, I learned a lot, and as a result, there are new paintings, azulejos and vases! It was also great to see all these new works presented last Saturday at the final presentation of my residency in the exhibition space at the foundation. Thank you all kind friends, for everything! And I hope to come back again soon! Obrigado por tudo! Espero voltar em breve! Bem-vindo Holanda!

  Yesterday was the last day of the workshop of Maria de Freitas, and yesterday morning we opened the oven together, to see the results. Everything was well fired, nothing broke. I really liked the results, so nice to experiment with help of the examples of the masters. And for the first time the use of yellow! I learned a lot of technical skills in this workshop! And was a nice group of participants! Thank you! After that I yesterday afternoon started repainting two azulejos at the Museo do Barro with Luis, so that after the first two azulejos were broken, I can still realize my big panel of 4 azulejos of each 30 x 40 cm, total 60 x 80 cm.! Tomorrow I will be ‘re’painting an azulejos of 30 x 30 cm, and a new panel Luis made for me, will be a surprise, something new! After returning from Redondo, I got such great help from Ludger! Unbelievable! We were building the final presentation of my residency in a shirt amount of time, and it looks so good! I am so happy ...
