Heloisa Hariadne

Heloisa Hariadne (b. 1999) was born in Carapicuíba in Greater São Paulo, Brazil. She holds a BA in Visual Art as well as Indigenous History from University of Arts of São Paulo. Hariadne is an early career artist who has established a botanical and philosophically driven visual language pursuing existential questions around will and self-determination, and the impact of personal and historical past events, and memories in relation to her subjecthood. By removing herself from a daily circuit of chasing the conventions of contemporary daily life, the artist steps back in isolation, and allows herself to have a meditative breathing space, where she can reach the answers to these questions through her practice, transforming the canvas into a visual memoir. Hariadne draws inspiration from the connection she has with her body, her nourishment - both physical and spiritual, and the ambience that surrounds her. Nature, being one of the key elements in Hariadne’s practice, acts as a healer and is a place where Hariadne repairs and generates her constant

imaginative stream. Movement, dance, and writing equally manifest meaningful connections that translates to her canvases.
