Bio

ALEDRA, 1981, São Paulo, Brazil.

Brazilian Visual Artist, Aledra uses different media such as drawing, photography, mainly painting and sculpture. Since she interrupted her formal studies at Fundação Armando Álvares Penteado (FAAP), in São Paulo, Brazil, much of her learning was self-taught.

She also studied Jewelry, Gemology and worked as an Art Curator and Columnist in the digital magazine “Psicanalítica”. After this period, she continued her studies in History of Art and Painting at Instituto Tomie Ohtake, in São Paulo, Brazil.

References of philosophy, Art Brut and history of dress are part of the artist’s imaginary. She currently conducts researchs in those areas at her studio in São Paulo, Brazil.

Statement

Statement

As a esthete, what guides my work is the experience of tonal and material values of harmony and composition, within a contemporary aesthetic notion of asymmetry and refutation of beauty, not in a shock, but in motion, creating her particular relationship.

In my process of creating, the experience of doing directs much of the work, which is conducted reflexively and intuitively along the way. My production speaks of desire. The shoes, desserts, jewelry, the fabric sculptures, the colors used in the paintings, are all playful elements that inspire the pleasure of the senses.
