Priscila Soares
For the longest time, I felt lonely in my own struggles. I had to loose myself completely in order to find my true self again. I reconnected with my inner child after many years of pretending she wasn’t quite there.
As a mother of 2 sons, and as a person with severe hearing loss on a spiritual path of inner exploration, I became passionate about sharing my personal journey and message through my art.
I wish to inspire you to look into your own limiting beliefs about who you truly are and to feel encouraged and supported to break through them.
We are all unique and our stories matter, regardless of what type of limiting beliefs we are still attached to. I’m here to show you that you can embrace that part of yourself that makes you so different from everyone else and that you can set yourself free from your own shadows. When you do, a world of possibilities open up to you.
TECHNIQUES
My work is connected through its underlying theme, but I freely explore different mediums. I paint with materials such as acrylics, watercolors, pastels and even digitally. Sometimes, I work with photography and digital manipulation. I sculpt in cold porcelain clay as well as wet clay, paper mache, resin casting, silicone casting and various other mixed media materials. I also create puppets and dolls and stop-motion animation characters. I should add I have even built a wheelchair dinosaur costume for a kid once!
BACKGROUND
Born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil, I’m an artist of many mediums. My background in Fine Arts, Graphic Design, Photography and Motion Picture combined with my passion for Graphic Novels and the desire to tell a story, allows me to experiment with different processes and bring it all together into my artwork
