LAÍS AMARAL
b. 1993, BrazilLaís Amaral is a self-taught artist who understands herself as an artist, while also part of the collective atelie Trovoa, co-founded by the artist and four other women. Dedicated to the production of black women and those who live on the margins of urban spaces, the collective emerged as a network to strengthen, motivate, and open new perspectives on contemporary art, both in terms of consumption, and in terms of being active in the production of content.
Laís dedicates most of her time to painting, her practice explores possibilities towards the contemporary environmental collapse in what she calls desertification and ‘whitening’ in territories across Brazil. Reflecting on the presence of her body in these spaces, Laís compares this desertification landscape as a subjective desert within herself.
