The Brazilian fine artist Sandra Nunes is in love with her native city, Rio de Janeiro, her main source of inspiration. She often creates her painting on the city streets, where  passers by, who are frequently part of her subject, often  stop to interact with her. Strolling through the city's urban, suburban and bucolic sites, she interprets and recreates in a passionate mood the relationship between shapes and colors. Blessed by pleasant weather throughout the year, Rio de Janeiro is a constant invitation to plein air painting.

"Painting outdoors under the diverse climate conditions increases the emotional charge of my work. I hope my paintings are not just iconographic representations, but reflect a deep insight into the subject. Some of these works may display the beauty I see in Nature and the passion for the pigments, whether oil, pastel or charcoal. A painting with integrity speaks for itself."
