My name is Antonia , and I am a multidisciplinary artist. I believe my paintings evoke a sense of irreverent passion and feminine power. Using acrylic, oil pastels, and collage on canvas, I employ organic tones and textures with strong colors to create classic, everyday forms contrasted by pop iconography and text. I was born in Brazil in 1997, and I have since established a new life for myself in Lisbon.
