Susana Bravo

I’m a visual artist based in Portugal, working mainly with mixed media and painting on paper, canvas My practice is rooted in storytelling — I’m drawn to themes such as femininity, transformation, memory, and the symbolic layers of everyday life. I often follow intuitive processes, allowing the materials and images to guide me. Each work is a reflection of the visible and invisible forces that move through us
