MARCIA  AFTIMUS

I was born in Brazil, in São Paulo, and I currently live in Canada.
My works feature colors and rich details that recall my travels to India, Nepal, Tibet, China, Paris, England and other places where I came into contact with different cultures and philosophies. I discovered new patterns and shapes that enriched and transformed my art and my vision of life.
There is always a mystery, a random movement that emerges intuitively in all my works, I feel a light but intense breeze that transforms the reality of life in a subtle way.
I have a strong connection with spirituality, I constantly seek to relate to humanity and Nature, based on love and compassion.
Through mixed media, I explore elements of nature with creativity and boldness in colors and textures.
My paintings are full of archetypes that symbolically resemble tarot cards. Through meditation, I open the doors of my mind and heart to capture information from the universe and transform it into painting.
