Sin título Da Série Gaveta dos Recuerdos

Thaís Salgado Helt is a veteran printmaker and founder, with her husband George Helft, of Oficina Cinco (“Workshop Five”), a lithographic workshop open to artists. Her work possesses stamina and character; her uninhibited expressionistic hand strokes have both graphic and pictorial qualities. A proponent of mid-20th century classical Brazilian abstraction, her work is also infused with a violent, dry, unsentimental lyricism, which gives her a voice of her own.
