Heloisa Hariadne

Carapicuíba, Brazil, 1998.
Lives and works in São Paulo, Brazil.

Heloisa Hariadne is a visual artist whose practice moves between painting, photography, and video, addressing themes that connect body, memory, and nature. Holding a Bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts, Heloisa constructs visual narratives that explore subjects ranging from environmental issues to nutrition and the recovery of ancestral knowledge. Her poetics emerge at the intersection of the intimate and the collective, fostering dialogues on identity and belonging.

Through a sensorial and symbolic approach, her works incorporate expressive pictorial gestures and mixed techniques that translate reflections on the inner self. The fusion of color, texture, and movement creates a dense visual language, where organic elements and abstractions intertwine. In this way, Heloisa‘s work invites the viewer to reconnect with nature, provoking new understandings of existence and the multiplicity of being.
