Lelê - "Joy" Collection Painting

Brazilian Magistrate for 23 years and born in Natal-RN, since 1996 she lives and works in the city of Salvador, Bahia. Despite her love for colors and shapes, it was only in recent years that she decided to give her life a new meaning and bring a little more lightness to her daily life. This was after going through a traumatic experience with a death threat and having to be escorted by police for months, when she was a judge in the criminal court in the district of Simões Filho, one of the most violent cities in Brazil. Married and mother of two, when she is not with her family, she dedicates all her free time to painting. Self-taught and a lover of watercolors, he mainly uses the painting techniques “oil on canvas” and “acrylic on canvas”. Inspired by the fragments of the feminine, she likes to portray in her canvases mainly “women”, their contours and their various forms of beauty. The feminine universe is always her great source of inspiration. And this also includes motherhood and all the passions that normally permeate this universe, like the Fashion world. Abstracts are also part of his creations. He usually enjoys hours playing and harmonizing color palettes. When it comes to abstracts, he has a special preference for geometries, textures and organic shapes. Each painted canvas expresses the artist's essence and momentary state of mind. In her works, she usually travels through all facets of women. The ELA collection portrays the mature woman, self-confident and fully aware of her power of seduction. The canvases that make up this collection are a true tribute to the inner strength that is present in every woman! These are strong canvases that portray the sensuality of women in a very genuine and delicate way. On the other hand, the JOY and CHARMING BALLOON collections provide a counterpoint. They translate a more childish, sweet and naive version of the woman.Full of frailties, just like all human beings. What enchants her most about art, in general, is the gratifying feeling of being able to inspire and encourage other women who identify with and feel represented in the artist's canvases. In the artist's words: “It is a very personal experience, which awakens an explosion of sensations and feelings in a very intimate and true way, directly related to the personal experiences of each observer.
