ANNE LOPES (born 1966 in Mirassol, Brazil) Since 2018, I have lived and worked in Auckland, New Zealand. I graduated in Law, but I never identified a single particle in me that would make me pursue this career. As soon as my eldest daughter was born in 1990, I started to seek knowledge in painting and visual arts in general, participating in several courses with private teachers and also in schools and universities. My works began to be recognized, and at that time, I established partnerships with several art galleries in Brazil as a professional artist. Soon after, I founded my art gallery, a reason that took me away from painting in 2011. This period of intense studies to better understand contemporary visual art is one of the things that interests me the most. However, I am so passionate about making and creating art myself that I found a way to reconcile the two works. Subjects that interest me today are human conscience and its relations with our planet and my own personal issues, such as my health.
