When you're small, the world is a playground of learning opportunities. The artist captures the essence of how playfulness can still bring great joy and growth even in adulthood. The relationship between the colors used mirrors the experience of being part of a diverse group of individuals, united by a common purpose. It's a testament to the power of collaboration and the beauty that arises when different backgrounds and perspectives come together in pursuit of a shared goal. In essence, this artwork poignantly reminds us that while we may no longer be children, the spirit of playful discovery remains accessible to us all.
The painting displays different techniques when examined closely and has a well-balanced composition when viewed from a distance.
My paintings are a free space to let go of everything; where a mistake wonderfully gives me, as the artist, a chance to learn more and to create something that moment, that I hadn’t planned for. I intuitively paint and choose the main color that I wish to bring forward, based on my emotion. After a base of a complementary color, I let dry and use this base for depth. Different textures are created with sponges or plastic wrap. Sometimes an unintentional stroke or technique that I like is kept for future pieces, to add to my signature style. I love how my works are evolving and the moments of painting, where my creativity thrives. Through my paintings I want to give the viewer a moment to Feel, in their busy day-to-day. I also value interior design and see my art as a pop of color to enhance one’s home.
I embrace this today as I embrace my past of different activities and visualize that as I focus on what I love, my path will, to a higher degree, positively impact other people.
Brazilian and Swedish, born in Geneva in 1986, now residing in Luxembourg. Lived in ten countries and speak ten languages, with an economics degree from Gothenburg school of Economics. After finishing an internship at UNFPA in Copenhagen (for my urge to help other women) I went to Hollywood to study Method acting because I thought I could have a shot there being naturally funny, social and artistic. I learnt it required a lot more, and I intuitively felt there was something else out there for me, I just couldn’t find it yet. So I came back to the norm and worked in purchasing, and also tried for a year to run my own company (Norway). Then, after 6 years in marketing (Luxembourg), marriage, two great boys, I enjoyed a course in graphic design and quit my job (March ’23).
I've earned certificates ('21 and'23) from the Pinacothèque of Luxembourg for my high artistic quality.
I have painted more since then and my 2025 goal is to be able to fully and professionally work as an abstract artist and in graphic design with pattern making for wallpapers and other projects, greatly widen the views of my art, and also exhibit in MUDAM, the museum of contemporary art in Luxembourg.
