I’m starting the week with a flurry of colors from Valeria Rey Soto’s Carnavalia collection – a set of drawings using pen, watercolor paints on paper, mixing human forms with textures inspired by the colorful patterns and designs typical of Northeastern Brazilian fabrics.
Originally from Spain she currently lives in Olinda and gathers inspiration from her surroundings; an incredible little town in the Northeast of Brazil that’s full of art and music and tropical exuberance.
You can see more of her work on Flickr while her website is under construction.
love the colors and textures. even though there is a lot going on, her fluid use of color and pattern is delicate and not jarring. beautiful.
