About works

In her large and medium-sized paintings, she amplifies the dance of forms and transforms the relationship with the pictorial space by creating monochrome, vibrant color fields of mysterious depth. The carefully curated, refined, nuanced, unostentatious color palette is atmospheric and interiorizing. Plastic themes are methodically pursued and developed in series and polyptychs.

In her graphic works, the artist uses engraving techniques. She expressively places in the frame shapes with clear contours and shapes with organic geometry in compositions focused on the tension between form and background.

About style

Joana opts, as an area of ​​visual expression, for the abstract style, which she interprets in a language between modernism and contemporaneity. The artist's style is revealed at the meeting between lyrical abstraction, abstract expressionism and gesturalism, interestingly combined with a minimalism of means and with surreal echoes of inner impulses.
