Interior Designer and Artist, Carolina Queiroz Cunha has always had a keen eye for the visually appealing. Before embarking on interior design studies, she graduated in Social Communication. She sees the combination of interior design and communication strategy as the ideal combination in the creative process of her work as a designer and artist. She believes that the fundamental objective in designing a space or a painting is to communicate a message through art. Mostly inspired by coastal nature, Carolina creates works of art full of subliminal meaning.
