Painting

Fayga Ostrower was a Brazilian painter and printmaker whose abstract compositions combined geometric precision with expressive gestural mark-making. Born in 1920, she developed a distinctive visual language that engaged with color relationships and spatial rhythm across painting, engraving, and drawing. Her work bridged constructivist principles and lyrical abstraction, establishing her as a significant figure in twentieth-century Brazilian modernism.
