When she received a box of watercolours for Christmas at the age of nine, the girl from Trás-os-Montes already wanted to be a painter. It was not a dream well-received by her mother, who thought her daughter would “starve to death”. Graça Morais is one of the most original painters in the country and is the guest on the new episode of Geração 40.
Graça Morais: “I was 9 years old and told my mother I wanted to be a painter. She, frightened, replied ‘A painter? But they all die of hunger!’”
