He has dedicated himself to traditional black and white photography since 1976, portraying the Alentejo plain, the Alentejo people and the groups of choirs of Cante Alentejano, with their solemn posture. He also portrays the gypsy people, with whom he had contact for almost 30 years, and Romanesque art in Portugal. Adalrich Malzbender also published the books “Alentejo” and “Olhares Ciganos”, was a collaborator in several magazines in Germany and Portugal and had individual exhibitions in Portugal (Lisbon, Alcobaça, Porto), Spain, Germany and also had his participation in an exhibition group show in Brazil at the University of Brasília (“Gypsies among friends”).

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION “ROSTOS DE MARIA” Photographs taken on old analogue cameras, with rollers and chemicals and according to old recipes, in the darkroom of the garage. “The tour that Adalrich and I took through the churches, sanctuaries and chapels of the Municipality of Nisa revealed an iconography so abundant and varied in some respects, it almost needs no text. In fact, the photographs that show us the various faces of Maria reveal to us the work of a virtuoso - Adal - a man passionate about his art, who searches with knowledge, serenity and a lot of patience for the best angle, playing with light and the shadow, trying to capture the essence that emanates from each of Maria's faces. In Portugal, and in the municipality of Nisa in particular, wherever we turn, we find the Virgin Mary in her most varied faces: Senhora da Graça, Senhora dos Prazeres, Senhora da Conceição, Senhora da Esperança, Senhora do carmo, Senhora do Rosário, Senhora das Dores, Senhora dos Remédios, Senhora dos Navegantes, Senhora da Redonda, Senhora da Sanguinheira… So many ladies, reflections of a single face – Senhora de Portugal”. – Jose Carmona Ribeiro This is the proposal of Galeria Municipal do Entroncamento for the 2023 Christmas season.
