She is also passionate about exploring different mediums and techniques to create her artwork, often combining traditional and digital methods.
Joana paints on aluminum to capture light within forms abstract and figurative. And her inspiration comes from light as it interacts with the balance between negative and positive shapes all around us.
She became fascinated with capturing the various dimensionalities of light during my experience as an astronomy and optics teacher. Using the combination of the two mediums, oil and aluminum, provide a unique dimensionality to the imagery, bringing movement of light to the organic forms beneath thin and thick layers of paint.
The movement of light is an element that is incorporated in each piece to capture the light that reflects back in all elements in nature.
The Process
Joana's process of painting is such a unique experience. She starts with her ideas and concepts, then sands down the aluminum piece to create the light movement for the composition.
Once the painting process starts, she allows the forms to be fluid with the oil paint and the aluminum, all while using a scraffito technique to reveal the aluminum surface.The contrast between the oil paints and the aluminum provides a unique experience for each viewer, as the placement of light, the location of the observer, and the reflective properties of the aluminum all combine to add an extra dimension to the art.
Joana's process of painting is both spontaneous and calculated, allowing her to create artwork that is constantly evolving and captivating the senses.
