Teresa da Palma Pereira is a classical pianist who sees creativity as the ultimate expression of freedom. In her interview with The Creativs in 2017, she shares how movement, emotion, and memory fuel her artistic process.
Pianist Teresa da Palma Pereira offers a deeply personal view on creativity, inspiration, and transformation. Here are some of the insights she shares:
“Creativity is the power people have to be free.” For Teresa, music is simply the medium, creativity itself is the real calling. Her goal isn’t just to perform, but to express something authentic and alive through her playing.
“New ideas are like arrows piercing my brain.” She describes her creative moments as sudden and physical, often arriving when she’s in motion, dancing, doing sports, or simply moving. It’s in these moments that unexpected inspiration strikes.
“People inspire me... especially when they try to impose limits.” Challenges and restrictions don’t suppress her creativity, they provoke it. When others set boundaries, Teresa finds even greater freedom by pushing against them and finding her own voice.
