Ana Tristany height - How tall is Ana Tristany?

In both 2011 and 2012, Tristany received an award from MAC for her innovative art teaching for children. In 2013, Tristany held a solo showing at the Forte do Bom Sucesso in Lisbon.

While living in Canada, she developed an interest in the works of Morris Louis and Jackson Pollock. Utilizing their drip technique, she created a "steered drip" process which integrates a level of sculpting into her painting. In 2008, when she opened her solo exhibit “À Chuva, ao Sol e ao Vento” (“Under the Rain, the Sun and the Wind”), her work was described by Álvaro Lobato de Faria, the director of the Movimento Arte Contemporânea MAC (Contemporary Art Movement), as beyond abstract expressionism and more broadly could be categorized by "open work" as it was described by Umberto Eco. In 1962, Eco postulated that "open work" caused the spectator to become an active participant in the construction and implementation of the painting. The exhibit won the 2009 Painting prize from MAC and a featured article about her work appeared in Yareah Magazine.
