Sound Awakenings by Giovanna Da Silva in Melbourne

I am a Melbourne based visual artist working out of my studio on canvas and digital art, and in the community through murals. I migrated to Melbourne with my family at 6 years old from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and I gain much influence and inspiration from my Brazilian heritage. Always having a fond interest in the workings of nature, environmental conservation and global community I convey an artistic style that is simplistic but a reflection of these themes through the use of bold line work and natural tones. I have spent time travelling and painting in places including Spain, Brazil, Nepal and India where my love for how public art interacts with different communities was strengthened and through that finding inspiration in my own practice. I have been involved in a number of group exhibitions in Melbourne as well as co-curating my own in 2019. My biggest motivation for my craft is to brighten up the community and spread messages of awareness through each painting.
