Larissa de Souza’s first solo exhibition with albertz benda will be on view at our New York gallery from Feb 9 – March 18, 2023.⁠ ⁠ De Souza finds inspiration in the quotidian, she says, “I like to walk around the neighborhood, to observe how people live and to reflect on questions about life. These moments work as a starting point and as ideas come to me, I begin to paint - and everything comes to place. The sketch is done directly on the canvas, the colors and applications are decided while I am painting, and all happens in an intuitive way.”⁠ ⁠ Portrait of the artist courtesy the artist.⁠ ⁠ Photo by Tamara dos Santos⁠ ⁠ @azuoslarissa⁠
