With a master's degree in urban environmental structures from FAU/USP, she became an art professor at UFPA. She currently serves as superintendent of the Fundação Curro Velho, in Belém.
Critiques
"In Dina Oliveira's canvases, formal sensitivity is her greatest asset. The artist from Pará manages to rework the Amazonian-Northeastern atmosphere with great brilliance and visual beauty, both in her well-structured constructions and in her color, achieving surprising effects. Work of great dedication, with effective results, revealing an artist about to make her name nationally."
