Trunk of a Tree - II Painting

My artistic journey is deeply rooted in Nature—its vibrant colors, intricate designs, and boundless inspiration. Guided by the principles of Anthroposophy, Integrative Art, and Art Therapy, I embrace the healing power of art and the profound connection between humanity and the natural world. My work draws on elements such as flowers, trees, gardens, and landscapes, reflecting a harmonious dialogue with nature. From a young age, I found joy in immersing myself in the natural world. It was on the coast of São Paulo that I first encountered oil painting. Early mornings on the beach, I watched an artist with her easel and paints, captivated by her ability to capture the surrounding beauty with her brushes. One day, noticing my awe, she asked, “Do you like to paint? Would you like to learn?” That moment, the brilliance of the colors and her invitation, ignited a lifelong passion in me. Since then, I have never stopped painting. Over the past thirty years of exploration and artistic creation, Nature has remained my central theme. Through drawing, painting, collage, and assemblage, I work with materials such as acrylic paints, natural pigments, anilines, and dry pastels. I also incorporate elements discarded by nature, breathing new life into them through art.
