In a small studio/gallery in São Pedro do Estoril you will find David Levy Lima working on his paintings. A very talented artist, he is a well-known oil and acrylic painter in the Lisbon Cascais area as well as abroad. He arrived in Portugal from Cape Verde in the 1960s to complete his studies but started selling his paintings and continued to paint from then on. He comes from a family of artists and his two brothers Abraham and Miguel are also painters.
For more than 50 years he has worked from his studio/gallery in São Pedro do Estoril. He has participated in many exhibitions in Portugal including the Casino Estoril as well as internationally and in his native Cabo Verde.
He has also won awards for his work. His beautiful paintings include landscapes, seascapes, boats and people of Lisbon, Cascais, Sintra, Cabo Verde as well as figures and still life. His paintings are of rich bold colours and he is a favourite painter of ours for many years.
