ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This mixed media piece was made on a recycled canvas base. Inspired by Athena, goddess of war. She is a famous juxtaposition of values: representing the morality of war. Delicate and young, Athena is shown here in peacetime, she is surrounded by a medley of birds and colourful flowers. She is poised, confidently lifting her chin to the heavens. This piece is part of “Goddess” Collection. “Athena’s garden” was shortlisted for The Royal Arts Prize in February 2020 in London, United Kingdom.

I am a London based mixed media collagist who grew up in Brazil. Having lived in Switzerland, London, and Mexico, I have always been an explorer: a collector of small treasures, textures, and experiences. Beginning my work in the fashion world, I am specialised in trend research, with experience working with European and Brazilian designers. I have always been inspired with the powerful feminine haute couture in fashion. The restless nature of fashion led me to make poetry with my own hands, pieces of different materials became her purest expression. The lightness with which my work perceives the world made me understand that being in love with something has diverse meanings, from absolute enthusiasm to deepest pain. My intense connection to paper makes it my most incandescent platform of transformation. My connection with paper can be immediately perceived from my first piece. Without a canvas, a cardboard box was the base. Currently, I work with intricate manual collages, a mix of materials. Mixing elements such as paper, wood, watercolour, ink, acrylic, gold leaf, fabrics, dried leaves, mosses, pieces of trees and stones. I hope my pieces reflect the world - a Brazilian touch, a Mexican vibe, and a worldly view. My work has the ability to transport viewers into a playful world of colours and textures with my collage. The varying interpretations of my work speak for themselves, with viewers becoming enveloped in the stories they tell, each story is always different. I explore the world and use materials from nature, such as discarded wood. Here, I am able to reuse and transform, embracing each material and thus giving them new life.
