Section 1: Technical Review
The first part of the feedback focuses on your technical skills. The reviewer gave her opinion
on the quality of your craft (e.g. color palette, shape, texture, size, technique, framing, and
composition).
How do you assess the artist’s technique in terms of colors, shapes, texture, and size, as
well as used material, medium, and process?
Hello Christine,
I find your technique very personal and recognizable. You use oil on canvas with great
freedom, and this is evident in the richness of the colors and textures. The geometric shapes
mixed with impressionistic touches create a unique style. The large formats give strength to
your works. One can feel that you paint with emotion and joy!
Section 2: Artistic Review
The second part of the review focuses on the artistic and aesthetic aspects of the portfolio.
What is the strength of the portfolio?
For me, the strength of your work lies in the energy and joy it conveys. One truly feels the
connection to Brazil, especially in works like "Alegria carnavalesca" or "Samba samba
minha gente". These are very lively paintings that make you want to dance and smile. You
succeed in making people feel the celebration, movement, and human warmth!
Where does the reviewer see the possibility for improvement?
Perhaps you could vary the atmosphere a bit more. Many paintings depict joyful, festive
scenes with bright colors. I think it would be interesting to see another side of Brazil or of
yourself—showing calmer, more intimate emotions at times. That would add more nuance to
your artistic universe, in my opinion.
Who or what can you follow and study, or get inspiration from?
In my opinion, you could look at the work of Brazilian artist Beatriz Milhazes, who also uses
a lot of color and patterns. Or even naïve painters like Heitor dos Prazeres. This could further
nourish your style. Otherwise, why not also draw inspiration from Brazilian music or
literature to create new series?
Section 3: Promotional Review
Where do you see the artist on the art market in terms of audience, pricing, and
estimated market potential?
You have already exhibited in several countries, which is very positive! Your works have real
potential for collectors who love color, energy, and art that makes people feel good. I think
your prices are consistent with the size and quality of your work. There’s potential to reach
even more people internationally, especially those looking to decorate with joyful and
expressive artwork!
Conclusion
Finally, what would be the one piece of advice you would give this artist, regarding the
objective of this review?
To conclude, I advise you to continue painting with your heart, because that’s what makes
your work so full of life. But also think about exploring other emotions or formats, to surprise
your audience and further enrich your artistic universe!
Wishing you continued success, Christine!
Exciting News from my Studio!
My Favela Painting “Favela Carioca” Joins Brazil’s High School Curriculum!
I’m thrilled to announce that my painting “Favela Carioca” which captures the vibrant essence of life in the favelas is part of Brazil’s high school curriculum for Art and Literature! This inclusion is a dream come true, as my work will now help students explore the beauty, resilience, and cultural depth of these communities.
Favelas have always represented much more than their challenges; they embody the soul of Brazilian life, rich in creativity, strength, and stories. Through this painting, students will engage with the themes of social complexity, urban diversity, and the artistic expression that rises from these neighborhoods.
To see my art contribute to discussions in classrooms is an honor, and I hope it inspires the next generation of artists, thinkers, and changemakers.
I’m excited to share this new chapter with you! Thank you for your continued support in this journey
Warm regards,
Christine
