Beatriz Olivetti, a Brazilian born New Yorker, has had her art studio in Long Island City, Queens, for about a year. She enjoys the artistic community she found in LIC and thrives at the collaborative possibilities that sprout in this neighborhood.
She is a graduate student in the John W. Draper Master’s Program at NYU. She received a BA in English Rhetoric and has a special interest in art and philosophy.
The art of Dalí, Miró, Gaudí, Kirschner, and Georgia O’Keefe have inspired her drawings since her childhood in São Paulo, Brazil, where visits to major museums and art foundations were critical to her artistic education.
Beatriz sees art as a way to explore philosophical concerns. The themes of her drawings speak of the ambiguity and absurdity of human existence. She thrives in the intimacy and aloofness of the urban setting. Her work illustrates the encounter between lingering sensibility and concrete persistency.
