Welcome To Our Home Page!


A DEGA was an art gallery created by the Painter José Barata de Castilho in 1994. It was set up in the building of an old cellar of the Cister Nuns Convent of Coz, near Alcobaça (in a historic region, 120Km north Lisbon).

The building was bougt by the grandfather of the former Gallery's owner, Painter  Maria Helena Barros. His name: Prof.José dos Santos Teodoro, which is also the name of the main street of Coz. After restauring of the building directed by José Barata de Castilho, it opened in 1997.

 

 

Our Exhibitions


We had exhibitions of national and foreign painters, within a varied range of contemporary artisitc lines.  One of them has been New Figuration, namely ironic painting. We have not a rigid view concerning artistic styles. Expressionist and abstract painters have shown here as well.

New Figuration


You can see on the right a "New Figuration" painting that won the Leonardo da Vinci Prize, given in Florence and was shown in our Gallery. The critics said that this painting is surrealist.That may be, but the intention of the Author was to show a critical view of reality.
