About the Teixeira Mendes

A world renowned artist and master of his craft, Brazilian born Teixeira Mendes paints exclusively for the Veronica Bird Charitable Foundation's Ahead With Autism Art Gallery.

By selecting and adroitly recombining elements through plastic means - reshapes that which his eyes have registered, his head has pondered, and his heart has enfolded.

All his life the artist has pursued this course, making no indictment, pointing no accusing finger. Offering no apologies, shunning rationalization, always facing up to things as they are.

Drawing on its European roots, Teixeira Mendes' painting invites the viewer to luxuriate and leads him though a catharsis, helping him shed the shackles of oppression, of barrenness, and of a man's inability to fit into or be the master of his times.
