I am hesitant to even describe the work of Angela M. Ferreira but she is an amazing artist with a unique vision. Her site is a must-see if you have an interest in the art of photography or in exploring the human psyche. Angela was born in Portugal and has traveled throughout Europe and beyond, in her quest for subjects and material. Her photographs are astonishing, to say the least. With her work she has created several self-assigned (I assume) projects which are nutrients for the mind and the soul. They appear to be crafted by a master but directed by an angel.
In one such project, 'Studies about mirror', her subjects were to draw or paint self-portraits with a mirror as their visionary tool. All of these subjects were mentally handicapped. Angela masterfully merges her vision of them creating visions of themselves, with their versions of themselves. The result stirs the heart and exercises the mind.
The presentation of her work is, also, distinctive and worthy of praise. She creatively uses flash presentations to engage the viewer in an stunning visual treat. Now, instead of me tripping along any further, in my inadequate descriptions of Angela's world, why don't you check out her site for yourself. If you're tired of the mundane, don't miss any corners of this impressive body of work.
