Regina Silveira was born in the city of Porto Alegre in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul in 1939. She completed her studies for a bachelor’s degree in Art at the Arts Institute of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul in 1959, followed some time later by a degree in Design at the Pontifical Catholic University in the same state. During the 1960s she attended a variety of painting and printmaking classes with the Brazilian artists Iberê Camargo, Francisco Stockinger and Marcelo Grassmann, which enabled her to expand her knowledge of art techniques and build the foundations for a new professional approach. From 1964 to 1969 she worked as a professor at the Arts Institute of the university where she received her Art degree. In 1967 she began to study Philosophy and Literature in Madrid, and two years later, in 1969, was invited to teach classes at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at the University of Puerto Rico. Between 1973 and 1985 she taught at the Fundación Armando Alvares Penteado in Sao Paulo, and she has been a professor at the School of Communication and Art at the University of Sao Paulo since 1974[1].
