« Au fil du temps, la peinture de Vieira da Silva affirme la planéité de la surface. Sa palette de couleurs denses et profondes, à base de rouges adoucis, de jaunes, de bruns, d'ocres, passe lentement aux bleus et aux blancs, allant vers une lumière à la fois transparente et matérielle où s'érodent et se dissipent les tracés constructeurs de ce qui vient surgir du cœur même de la lumière et de la matière » (Bernard Ceysson in Maria Helena Vieira da Silva 1908-1992, Galerie Jeanne Bucher, Paris, 2008, p.67).
