Palácio da Bolsa

(Pátio das Nações)

(14th and 15th of April 1989)

       In 1989, Helena received a very uncommon honor; she was invited to expose at Pátio das Nações of Palácio da Bolsa, which is a place normally used for receiving Chiefs of State and by no means used for painting exhibitions. Beyond Helena only the famous portuguese master Henrique Medina had gotten such honor of exposing on that place.
