Maria Bastos (pinabastos)
I am a Brazilian visual artist and journalist, and also a translator of French, English and Portuguese for publishers for many years. I have a nickname since I was a child, Pina (Bastos), the name I sign my works. You can address me as Maria or Pina.
I graduated from PUC- Rio, Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, in 1972 as bachelor in journalism, also having a bachelor degree of French and French Literature, in 1968, from Alliance Française, which is the partner learning center of Nancy Faculty of Letters, France. I have worked for Rio de Janeiro’s City Hall for 30 years, mostly editing newspapers, magazines and textbooks. Since 2013, I got retired and currently I work as a translator and a writer. I am writing a book about my art work.
My available time is from 5:00PM ~ 1:00AM (BRT). I always provide quick responses and handle any issues very responsibly. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need a English=>Portuguese or French=>Portuguese translator!
