Angela-Lago was born in Belo Horizonte, state of Minas Gerais, in the southeast of Brazil.She is an author and illustrator and has the most important Brazilian awards and several international prizes.http://www.angela-lago.com.brComments on hers books:"There is no text in Street Scene, but there is certainly a story. Created as a visual report on the homeless, the book depicts a day in the life of a boy who is trying to sell fruit in the street. With its innovative design and artistic excellence, it is not surprising that this book has won many awards."Jeffrey Garret (in The Best Children's Books in the World )Cette adéquation entre expérience esthétique et réflexion philosophique est suffisamment rare que pour souligner le caractère exceptionnel de cet ouvrage."Nicole Everaert-Desmedt - Facultés universitaires Saint-Louis, Bruxelles"Angela-Lago is what we should call a true artist: despite receiving the most important awards and nominations, she´s never stopped her restless search for new paths, both as an illustrator and as a graphic artist. As a result, each of her work comes as a surprise, filled with details and enchantment."Maria Antonieta Cunha, Exhibition Catalogue.Three writers ad three illustrators From Brazil."Angela Lago manages to take transgression and contrast to the extreme, allowing opposite systems to coexist: the old and the new; the serious and the comic; the past and the future. The opposites coexist nicely even in the writer/illustrator personality who manages to combine the shyness of the person with the boldness of the artist, from whom we`ve been looking forward to her next surprise."Maria Zaira Turchi, Revista de ICHI,V3"Angela Lago´s work anticipates what an artist will be in the future: someone who manipulates various languages and medias", stated professor André Mendes."
