Carla Petrini, born in São Paulo, Brazil, in 1963, where she lives and works.

Bachelor of Fine Arts with specialization in Engraving and Painting in 1985 and Postgraduate in Watercolor Painting in 1998. Postgraduated in Art terapy in 2023, and now in a Certification in antique, prehispanic and contemporary Natural Pigments, directly from Mexico.

Since her graduation she has been improving her knowledge in courses and workshops at Brazil and abroad.

Since 1988 she has been accompanying students in the teaching of watercolor, acrylic and metal engraving, both on regular courses in her studio and in other spaces.

She develops her works with a theme aimed mainly at the vibrant identification with the landscapes where the most intriguing are the infinite open spaces and the breathtaking skies, and where the human figure does not appear. The chromatic sensitivity and dramatic sense of the landscape are revealed by an exalted feeling of passion for this spiritual dimension of nature, a catalyst for sensitivity, a starting point, but never an arrival. Another aspect of her work is also deeply related to that surrounding landscape, its intimacy and the space that surrounds it. Possibly common themes, but with a deep emotional relationship.

Ambassador for the Brazilian brand of handcrafted artistic watercolors, Poetica do Habitar, Carla is an aquarellist active in the national scene, and in addition to individual exhibitions, she has been actively participating in several collectives in Brazil and abroad since 1981.
