LEONOR BRAZAO

My artwork is a clear expression and reflection of my personal life experience. The bold and confident lines that form my images express symbolically a search for essence of life and reveal the profound influences of my Portuguese and Brazilian heritage. In this video I am inspired by the Brazilian indigenous.
