Valeria Nascimento’s 4th exhibition at Woolff Gallery will open in May 2017.
Effortlessely beautiful and elegant, Nascimento’s artworks consist of 100’s of porcelain elements which are arranged in powerful and cohesive compositions linking nature and abstraction in ethereal-seem- ing formations. Through her work Nascimento translates the delicacy of the natural world into timeless, organic, and contemporary ceramic artworks.
Nascimento has created work for luxury brands such as Chanel, Wedgewood, Tiffany and Co's stores in London's Canary Wharf and Montreal, Canada, and for many interior designers. Her work hangs in Somerset House, and has appeared as part of exhibitions at London's V&A Museum and the Museo Historico Nacional in Río de Janeiro, Brazil.
Growing up in Brazil, surrounded by exuberant nature, inspired me to embark on an artistic career. A degree in architecture helped me to cement a certain visual language, an eye for detail and an understanding of physical space.
Flora is a celebration of nature itself which intends to take the viewer on a journey through different visual botanical and peaceful landscapes. My aim is to create works that inspire, connect and touch in an emotional way
