Biography
Nogueira was born in Goiânia, Central Brazil was the eldest of five children. She lived and studied Journalism and Communications in Brazil and the US before coming to London in 1975. Planning to stay for just two weeks to visit her brother, she ended up staying for the rest of her life. She studied painting first at Chelsea College of Art (1976–79) and then at the Central School of Art and Design (1979–80).
Work
She was awarded a residency at the Fondation Cartier in Paris in 1993 and a Paul Hamlyn Award for Visual Artists in 1996.
"My way of thinking is very much from Brazil: My way of picking up objects comes from there too. It is something connected with childhood and also with the Brazilian psyche. Our way of thinking is not as linear as it is in Europe ... In art you obviously have a background in art history. We don't have that in Brazil at all. I think the way we developed our visual sense is different from the European model. I didn't have that. We just do everything in a very empirical way, even art."
She died of cancer aged 48.
