Nana Araujo

Nana Araujo was born in Curitiba (Brazil), lived in Rio de Janeiro for 10 years, and now resides in Italy.

She never allowed her comfort zone to consume her dreams; she was a public servant and gave up the position to fulfill her dream of flying: she became a paragliding pilot, a skydiving pilot, and finally, an airplane pilot. She worked for one of the largest Brazilian airlines and finished her career piloting an Airbus 330, one of the largest passenger planes in the world, as an international pilot.

But she found in the arts the freedom she had been chasing in flying. She became a visual artist and innovated with her technique of creating paintings with glitter to express what her life is: a huge carnival!
