Junho Painting

Rubia Viegas was born in Santos (Sao Paulo - Brazil) and has lived in Presidente Prudente (Sao Paulo - Brazil) for over 40 years. His artistic development took place in a natural way. Considered self-taught, she took only a short course in watercolor and studied the lives and works of various artists on her own initiative. Most of his productions are made with watercolor and ink on canvas. According to the artist, the “scribble” has always been in her life. Rubia started creating on paper, using crayons, pastel chalk and charcoal. Then it went to acrylic paint and oil. “I decided to broaden my horizons. I took the screen in search of satisfying my needs for expression. I am spacious. So, I mixed the techniques: I arrived in watercolor and ink on canvas. It is how I express myself” explains the artist. Rubia has as her inspiration nature as sovereign - mainly the element that moves her the most, the sea - and the children's imagination. “These canvases color my heart, amuse my mind. Representative images of the little players inside me” says Rubia.
