Visual Art by Juliana Naufel
Juliana Naufel is a Brazilian visual communicator who invites us to become aware of different realities and support each other as women through her art practice. She uses her passion for life to inspire powerful messages that she exposes through her embroidered mixed media works. The compositions are visual healing poems creating a new version of the world that is filled with love, affection and joy. Her work reminds us to prioritize the things in life that bring us hope and peace and with every stitch that she makes, Juliana wants to share her experience with us and encourage our cognizance of the little things in life that make us unique. Her work truly comes to life with intimacy and care, as we can all reflect on the themes of nostalgia, identity, and connection. Juliana’s passion for witty storytelling allows her to transform long forgotten moments into a whimsical art piece. Naufel’s artworks can be found in a number of private collections around the world, including The Wonders of Women Museum, USA, The Kanyer Art Collection, USA and Museu das Bandeiras, Brazil.

Her work was also exhibited in group shows in Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, France, Mexico, Portugal, Spain, United Kingdom, and the United States.
