His seascapes are breathtaking, and when you look at one up close, it look so realistic, as if water is dripping from the frame.

Title: Work-32 (Entreda 1)

Year: 1977

I absolutely love the work of Helena Almeida. She doesn't call herself a photographer or a painter, but I would most generally call her a photographer. If she doesn't want to confine to labels, I understand, but for the purposes of ease, we'll just say that she is a photographer. She is really and incredible artist, and I would have put up some images from her "Inside Me" series, but I couldn't find specific titles to the pieces that spoke the most to me. So just google Helena Almeida and see what you find.
