lygia pape -lrb- 7 april 1927 -- 3 may 2004 -rrb- was born in nova friburgo , rio de janeiro , brazil .
lygia pape worked in sculpture , engraving , and filmmaking .
she was an influential brazilian artist , active in both the concrete and neo-concrete movement in brazil during the 1950s and 1960s .
later on in the 1960s and 1970s , pape produced more videos and installations using sarcastic and critical metaphors against the brazilian dictatorship .
from the 1980s onward , these metaphors became more subtle .
her artwork seems to have worked as a vehicle for existential , sensorial , and psychological life experiences , much of it based in geometry and relying on both the intellectual and physical participation of the viewer .
in explaining her approach , lygia pape said `` my concern is always invention .
i always want to invent a new language that 's different for me and for others , too ... i want to discover new things .
because , to me , art is a way of knowing the world ... to see how the world is ... of getting to know the world . ''
