Elizabete Caires

My inspiration comes from life experiences and inner emotions.

Images arise as an intuitive improvisation of ideas, dependent entirely on what I choose to express in any particular moment in life.
Through the relationship of colours, and shapes, rhythm and balance and the physical as well as the psychological act of painting, each picture develops into a unique piece to capture a corner of the wonder and the beauty of people and nature and the world I live in.

My recent pieces depict women of the world,indigenous people and ancient goddesses using a distinct palette of bright colours and expressive energy to portray their features, forms, thoughts and emotions.
These creations embody a feeling of inner growth and a spiritual connection to the universe for me.
