“The first time I saw Triana’s portrait of my face I almost burst into tears.She captured an aspect of my soul that I just wasn’t expecting to see. Blown away isn’t the half of it. My portrait is a huge part of my life now , and I’ll always be grateful for it. Thank you.”

Sir Lenny .G. Henry CBE

Actor, Comedian, Writer and Presenter

“Terry’s work embodies the core values of contemporary portraiture – the ambition to capture something deeply personal, essential even, about the sitter, those effervescent qualities, mysteriously human, that somehow seem be absent in photographic equivalents. They are bold, powerful and confident.”

Nick Hackworth

Art Critic for the Evening Standard

”Using broad, sweeping, brushstrokes often in embryonic colours, sometimes with gushes of blood, or expressions of shock and horror, there’s a tremendous energy and passion to Triana De Lamo Terry’s ‘Godless Goddesses’. If not always explicit or confrontational, violence is implicit, sometimes in its immediate after effect, sometimes in the longer term psychological reaction that it demands. It’s a given that the artist uses her eyes but here, Triana has also used her ears. She’s interviewed and listened to women who have suffered in their lives, have been tormented, have been assaulted by men and their egos, or lack thereof.

Triana not only sympathises with her collaborators but loves them, offers them a tenderness, gives each one a voice to show them not as victims, not even ‘just’ as survivors but something more than that. Women to be celebrated. Women to be applauded. Women to be congratulated. Women who have been pushed toward the void but women who have chosen to reject it, to move towards the light, towards positivity, towards a rebirth. The journey was never going to be easy but in showing her collaborators at their most vulnerable, Triana has shown their strength and dignity in a moving and powerful way.”
