Born and raised on a farm in a small country-side town of Brasil, Gabriela holds a Masters in Painting from Wimbledon College of Arts. Her mix heritage: Spanish-Italian-Lebanese-Lituanian-British-Chinese, gave the artist a sense of enormity that she belongs to the world, but as her choice... The Natural World.

   Based at TKE Studios, Margate, Gabriela have enrolled Turps Banana 2025/2026. 

   Her work entwines a relationship between humans, animals and the environment, expressing her belief in the foundation of nature. 

   In Paint she finds her way to depict the language and message of her art. Her visual language encapsulates the chaos, energy, passion, and hostility of the wild animal she relates to. Travelling outside the studio on solo trips in different countries and connecting with natives allows her to build her own way of interpreting life and land into paint, aiming to create a unique structure and palette for her art. 

   Being raised without connection to museums and art schools, the artist found her passion in painting through the earth. Inside nature, Gabriela has fallen for colour, texture, pigments, composition and light. Once lived in a car in New Zealand for months studying colour in nature through photography. The artist explains, being a solo traveller in remote nature, gave her the material and philosophy while experiencing serenity towards immensity and aloneness. That energy is present through her work.

   Gabriela believes that to be an artist is to be transparent while uncovering. Like the natural world, she describes her practice as a chaotic open world, guided by the paint. Living inside nature gave Gabriela’s her unique passion for colour pigments.

   After her Masters in Painting, Gabriela was selected for Clifford chance with her prints and etchings, showing strength in the area. In march 2024, she participated in the exhibition “We Do Not Sleep” in Margate at TKE Studios, with 5 other successful woman artists. Later in May she took part of a 2 months Artist Residency in Morrocco, Al Maqam founded by Mohamed Mourabiti. Since then the artist has taken part of various art shows including "Small is Beautiful" at Flowers Gallery 2025.

In Gabriela' words "The Nature Change, I change". 

   The symbolism in her art becomes a live presence of her vision, preserving her belief that we are part of The Natural World.
