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