Luciana Ferreira is a beacon of vibrant creativity in the heart of Rio de Janeiro. Born and raised in the city’s lively streets, she draws her inspiration from Brazil’s rich natural beauty and cultural heritage. Growing up surrounded by the rhythms of samba, the bright colors of carnival, and the lush greenery of the rainforest, Luciana’s art embodies the soul of her homeland.

Her work captures the energy and diversity of Brazil’s wildlife, featuring iconic animals like jaguars, macaws, and capybaras set against dynamic tropical backdrops. Luciana’s signature style involves bold, sweeping brushstrokes and an unapologetically vivid palette that mirrors the vibrancy of her environment. She often incorporates traditional Brazilian motifs, like the swirling patterns of calçadão tiles, into her compositions, creating a blend of modern and cultural aesthetics.

Luciana’s series, Carnival of the Wild, has been exhibited across Brazil and internationally, earning critical acclaim for its celebration of life and nature. In 2023, she received the International Environmental Artist Award for her dedication to raising awareness about rainforest preservation through her art.

Beyond her canvas, Luciana actively collaborates with conservation groups and donates a portion of her proceeds to Amazonian wildlife charities. She believes her art is a celebration of Brazil’s unparalleled biodiversity and a call to protect it for future generations.
