Voo Visits: Rafaella Braga
For this episode, we teamed up with Nike and The Fairest to peek into the safe sanctuary that is the studio of artist Rafaella Braga.
Berlin and New York-based artist Rafaella Braga has constructed her world in the beginning through graffiti. The idea of belonging, conquest and demarcation of territory started with street language and was supported by groups and trends in Brazil’s local scene. What used to be the street’s pictorial act was transformed into the internal space. In her studio in Treptow, she has been developing and materializing her ideas mostly on large scale canvases that can take up entire walls. The four walls are now her diary. And to her, painting is a spiritual practice of self-reflection and release.
