Marina Perez Simão

Brazilian artist Marina Perez Simão outlines extraordinary territories in her paintings, gliding between figuration and abstraction, showing us colors and shapes we understand so that we can begin mapping out realms beyond our grasp. Simão's ethereal landscapes compose visual journeys that often traverse the unknown, the abstract and the nebulous, but also include visions and memories. Drawing inspiration from both her travels and imagination, Simão's dreamlike scenes are rendered in delicate gradients and soft color palettes, sometimes gathering to create a faintly recognizable detail. Often comprising of layered washes and subtle textures, her work evokes a sense of serenity, vastness, and introspection. The poetic interplay of color, form, and space in her paintings convey the sublime power of nature.
