Maluda(Maria de lurdes Ribeiro)


Maluda ( Maria de lurdes Ribeiro)

Famosa pelas janelas, quiosques e telhados de Lisboa que pintou, Maluda morreu no dia 10 de Fevereiro de 1999.

A UMA PINTORA
(10.02.99 no dia da morte de Maluda)

Na geometria dos teus telhados
Na simetria da tua paisagem
Na luminosidade dos teus quiosques
Na serenidade das tuas janelas
Encontraste a força intelectua
lA sabedoria exponencial
A beleza espiritual
De pintar Lisboa
De pintar Portugal.

Helena Monteiro, Lisboa, Portugal
