Interview with the artist Soraya Villa —

Tell us a little about yourself, who Soraya Villa is.
I was born and live in São Paulo – Brazil I am an artist with a restless soul and creative mind, whose passion for the visual arts transcended my academic training in Exact Sciences.
Since childhood I have been captivated by shapes, colors and objects, a love that blossomed in my adolescence through drawing.
My artistic journey began at the renowned Associação Paulista de Belas Artes, in 1993, where I explored oil painting on canvas. Over time I expanded my horizons to Goldsmithing and Jewelry Design, adding a new dimension to my art.
Two years ago, I started painting again, this time with acrylic paint on canvas and paper, marking a new chapter in my search for innovation and artistic exploration, absolutely consolidating my greatest passion within the artistic universe – Abstract Art.

3.What are your favorite themes? What materials do you use in your works?
Instead of having a set favorite theme, I am constantly exploring and trying out new ideas. I have dedicated myself a lot to exploring abstraction; shapes inspired by ancient and contemporary bottles and ceramics.
I work with acrylic paint on paper, canvas and panels. I believe this creative freedom makes my work more dynamic and exciting.

6.What are the best responses you’ve had to your work?
What best reflects the certainty of being on the right path are the manifestations that include how much my work generated emotion, in addition to reports about how much my art impacted environments in a positive way.
