Rafaella Braga
b. 1998 | Goiânia, Brasil
Rafaella Braga (b. 1998 in Goiânia, Brazil) lives and works in Berlin. She began tracing her own path in arts through graffiti and later finding herself in painting, exploring it freely and without any pre-conception. She has been developing and materializing her ideas mostly on large scale canvases, that can take up entire walls, revealing a physically intense working method. And also exploring others fields such as installation, performance and sculpture. Using her work as a diary, her practice has the body as primer matter, investigating the self outlined by her vulnerabilities and secrets, and revolves around the interplay between reality and fantasy, identity and time, offering a dreamlike alternative to reality. The artist have been developing her own projects, collaborating with international initiatives as so group and solo exhibitions. In her new work the sky appears as a refuge in large urban centers, offering chance and silence upon chaos.
