This exhibition is also a tribute to Manuel Pereira da Silva, here, in this room of Aureliano Lima, friend of Manuel Pereira da Silva, who helped Aureliano Lima a lot, namely by giving up his studio, Manuel Pereira da Silva also prolonged his teaching in his studio. , help mutual help between artists.
These moments of abstractionism here revealed in some sculptures in which I stress the way Manuel Pereira da Silva represents family, man, woman and children, through such beautiful geometric lines. Manuel Pereira da Silva's sculptures always start with drawings, which is the soul of the artist, usually sculptors always draw very well.
Manuel Pereira da Silva was also a great social intervener, was President of the Parish Council of Avintes, participated in the creation and directive structure of some Avintes Associations as well as contributed to his work by making statues, busts and medals for all the collectives of Avintes, his homeland, in a generous way.
