„ The adult male figure is therefore partially omitted in Maria Teresa's works, and if any allusion to it can be discerned other thanin blurry backgrounds, this is due to the appearance of pregnant women and in rare cases of children.

In other cases, however, some animals also possess a female symbology, such as elegant but agressive herons in flight.“ Dr. Rui Carita, from the catalogue A Mãe das Mães, 2008
