Kunstart: Malerei
Technik: Ölmalerei

Statement:
In my work, I transfigure every-day life. Through it, I manifest the subjective content and the personal interpretation of an invisible and fantastic universe.
In this universe, there is life in everything. The soul of all beings is exposed – of the animal kingdom, vegetables and minerals. The latent force of life is thus expressed in this vibratory energy, in the undulation which passes through my body and determines brushstroke and colors.
When I paint, I try not to explain, to interpose logic and rationale. I let life pass through me. Images emerge spontaneously, and I feel that they are only a prop. They are a gateway through which I plunge into my personal universe.
Vita / Lebenslauf:
While studying architecture at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Lucemar de Souza was encouraged by one of her professors, Renato Meneschal, to paint watercolors. Later on, professor Clarival do Prado Valladares he introduced her to the artist Ivan Serpa after observing that she used to take notes in the form of sketches. This encounter resulted in Lucemar de Souza, to become a regular visitor of Ivan Serpa’s house and his pupil - his orientation, professional discipline and passion for art to influence her work in a permanent fashion.
She participated in several exhibitions in her native Brazil, including the “Salão de Arte Moderna”. Her work has also been shown in the United States, at the Latin American Art Gallery and at Serious Studios in Miami, and in Belgium / Europe at LineArt-Gent.
