Luz Rivara Online Art Exhibition

“The young Portuguese artist Luz, Rivara has long been fascinated by T.E. Lawrence – not so much “Lawrence of Arabia” but T.E. the man, both before and after the War. This approach is reflected in her series of interpretations of well-known photographic portraits of T.E., which she has translated into her personal artist language. Her dream-like renderings of these familiar images are a reassuring sign that T.E. continues to inspire new generations of artists.”
