Life and work
Florbela Espanca was born in 1894, in Vila Viçosa and studied at high school in Évora. In 1919, he left for Lisbon, where he attended a course at the Faculty of Law. That same year, he published his first book of poems, The Book of Sorrows. He is a literary contributor to several magazines and newspapers, such as O Notícias de Évora and Seara Nova.

Florbela Espanca was a woman born before her time. In his life and work there is a painful nostalgia for the future, because in him he senses other forms of freedom for women, which his time denied him. Everything in your life is a permanent struggle to be whole: love and love, dreams and disappointments, literature and recognition. No children were born from his three marriages. He committed suicide, on the day he would have turned 36 years old, in Matosinhos.
Sculptural Reading
Sculpture
Florbela's arms and hands are in a posture that reveals an opening between them and her body for the light that will define the shape of her hips and torso. The feet are “excessive” in the position they are in, which has to do with the support of the sculpture itself. It was carved in Serpa Green stone, the Creamy Pink from Vila Viçosa, where it was from, and the Black from Ruivina (on her hair).
Poetic Reading
Florbela's poetry to which the sculpture references denounces a woman beyond her time, fighting against prejudice in favor of free love. Poetry of resistance. The pose of sensuality belongs to the poet who finds liberation in catharsis and shouts it at the top of her lungs to the world!
