Bruna Pastorini is visual artist and publicist. While the latter is an important part in her life, it is not enough to outshine her passion for art, her desire of creation and expression. This was Brunas’s first experience of artistic residency, and we were very happy to welcome an emerging artist and have the opportunity to join her in such an important moment.

ARTIST STATEMENT

The work of Bruna Pastorini intends to reflect human feelings and human emotions in their essence. The artist wants to create invisible dialogues between her and the viewer, and she seeks inspiration from their emotions to compose her works so others can identify and see in the artist’s work their feelings too. Without saying a word to the viewer, they both can connect and dialogue through what is being said and exposed at the painting.

The artist is interested –through the art– in how people are able to expose and indirectly admit your weaknesses, fears and their deepest feelings. A person would not speak openly about the fear of loneliness, for example. But a person can admit that is identified or has been touched by a work that reflects loneliness. By doing so, that person is exposing indirectly that identifies with that fear. The viewers end, thus, exposing themselves too as the artist.

Pastorini’s paintings show characters that expose feelings or are in situations which only humans can be: in anxiety, feeling hope, solitude, tranquility, love, among others emotions.
