Carla Fazenda

Brazilian architect and visual artist based in São Paulo, with a practice rooted in the exploration of color, space, and materiality. Since the early 1990s, my work has moved fluidly between architecture, interior design, mural painting, objects, lighting, and fine art.

My artistic research is driven by an interdisciplinary approach, investigating color as language, perception, and emotional experience. Through painting, murals, installations, and spatial projects, I explore the relationship between form, light, and the human experience, often blurring the boundaries between art, architecture, and design.
