Regina Macedo

I was born and raised in Brazil, which is where I currently live. I´ve participated in numerous exhibitions, both collective and solo, almost all of which were in Brazil. However, many of my paintings are part of private collections abroad, because Brasilia, where I live, has a large international community. I´m a self taught artist, but I take every opportunity to work and learn, and my passion for painting increases daily. I work mainly with oil paints on canvas. Across the years I´ve gone through different phases, and have enjoyed mostly painting landscapes, although I also like portraits.When I paint I feel as if I´m taking a vacation from the ordinariness of daily life! My subject matter is usually nature. I paint landscapes, forests, birds and flowers and often bring people into these scenarios, looking for ways of bridging the gulf between humans and nature. Lately I´ve been obsessed with painting indigenous peoples of Brazil. Producing beautiful images is the way I have of honoring the natural world.
