Paula Rego
Paula Rego is the most famous living portuguese female painter. She was born in Lisbon (1935) within a rich family, during Salazar's regime, which would be a later influence in her work. Married to an english artist, she moved to London in 1975.
Her work often gives a sinister edge to storybook imagery, emphasizing malicious domination or the subversion of natural order, sometimes dealing with polemic social realities.
Paula Rego was shortlisted for the Turner Prize in 1989 and was awarded the Degree of Doctor of Letters honoris causa by Oxford University in June 2005.
Part of her work can currently be seen at Palácio Anjos (and taking photos is allowed!).

And speaking of solid structures:
Manoel de Oliveira is the oldest active movie director in the world. His work has been awarded 39 times, not only in Portugal but also in several cinema festivals such as Cannes, Berlin, Venice, Montréal, Chicago or Tokyo. Actors like Catherine Deneuve, John Malkovich, Marcello Mastroianni, Irene Papas or Michel Piccoli have worked with him. Yesterday he has celebrated his 100th birthday while shooting his new movie and he is allready working on the next. Isn't this amazing?
