Cabrita Reis is a local artist, born in Lisbon in 1956. He studied at the School of Fine Arts. His earliest works were pictorial drawings and paintings representing everyday objects set in enigmatic environments. At the same time, he lent his talents to theater and set design. In the late ‘80’s, his expression diversified and expanded into sculpture and installation works.
