Beautifully Human
Daniela Guerreiro embraces beauty in all forms. Within every piece she creates lies something strikingly raw, sensitive, and powerful. The human form is seen through the eyes of someone who recognizes insecurity and vulnerability and who celebrates them as signs of life. Her most recent body of work, “Naked Portraits” examines the imperfections and unconventionalities which make us all beautifully human.

Daniela Guerreiro, Portugal, Oil Painter
What has led you to this point in your life?
Art its the most important thing for me. I hope that I can transmit my vision to the others.
Who are you as an artist?
| I am a small artist who hopes to show the world my vision, surrealism and realism all together hoping to dig the inside of the human mind. |
What motivates you to create?
Everyone motivates me. The beauty of people, inside and outside.
What is your artistic process?
Throughout my work, I intend to explicitly convey insecurities that we all have. Oil painting allowed me to capture individual experiences that can be seen in several people who do not have the courage to expose them. Each of the paintings incorporates the concept of social exclusion, shame, depression, insecurity, pressure, violence, etc. We need diversity in the examples that surround us. And we all need a healthier relationship with our bodies and with our image. The use of unconventional models allows me to convey a hidden beauty between each one. A personal and global journey in search of health and body connection is my biggest goal with this collection of paintings.
Part Two: “Naked Portraits”
“Naked Portaits”, my recent project, are the “naked and raw” portraits of each of us. I individualized social and personal problems, believing that each of us can overcome them. Movement, colors, dynamics are one of the characteristics present in most paintings, but life also shows us a darker part. Games of light and dark, transparencies also enrich my work. I am a contemporary artist passionate about life and people, so they are my biggest theme of representation.
