Ana Caeiro

I am a Yoga Teacher and Ayurveda lifestyle advisor.
In art, I try to express the beauty of nature and life.I am deeply inspired by Indian culture and eastern religions as Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism.

My main expressions come through colour and symbolic forms with which I intend to communicate to the viewer a sense of wholeness and fulfilment.

For me art is joy, beauty and devotion, but it has not always been like this. When I started painting, art was deeply connected to my sufferings and struggles. I paint as a meditation, I get so entangled, that I loose sense of time.

Between 1999 and 2002 I have studied under the personal tutoring of the French artist Claude Bernier. With her I learnt the basics of different techniques and the flexibility of the act of creating.

Later, during my first trip to India, I learned from the artist Subash Gupta, in Varanasi. With him I learned the value of the sacred in art and of painting as a devotional expression, as well as the basics of Hindu folk art.

Other than these two teachers, I am self learned.
