Who are you and what do you do? I’m Brunna Mancuso, graphic designer, illustrator and artist from Brazil. I do mainly watercolor portraits of women.
Current city: São Paulo, Brazil, where I was born.
Client List: Itaú Bank, Renner, UOL Inc., Oh Comely Magazine, House Notes Magazine and many others in Brazil
How did you make these? Mainly watercolor and acrylics, but I use also gold leaf and embroidery in my paintings sometimes.
Why did you make these? “Why?” is the most difficult question to answer. First, I painted women because of aesthetics. Nowadays it has a deeper meaning to me. It’s about self-discovery, self-love, and I’m always painting them asking myself “who am I and why do I feel so impelled to paint ’em?” I don’t have these answers yet, and when I do I’ll probably find the need to paint something else.
What do people typically say about your work? I like to think people feel about my work the same way I do… I paint women with a deep look in their eyes so we can connect to them, share a moment with them. and know more about that figure. Also, regarding the technique: I try to achieve bold shapes and colors, and intense and interesting patterns—even when I’m using watercolors—so it can match the complexity and the deepness of the ladies.
