...... LAGOS - PORTUGAL 11 to 20 September 2003 .....

Marialuisa found the courage , at last , to organise her first exhibition in what was becoming her country of residence and from where was drawing the inspiration for a series of oils , aptly named " LUDOS " ( plays ) , to signify her joy of life and the irony by which she always has related to her surroundings !! It was a great success of critics and public in general ( mainly , youngsters ) : if she thought of the commercial side , she wouldn't have chosen a small sleepy town in Southern Portugal !
