Artist profile
Adriana Varejão
Adriana Varejão (b. 1964, Rio de Janeiro) is one of Brazil's most acclaimed contemporary visual artists. Her practice examines post-colonial history, cultural hybridity, and identity through painting, installation, and sculpture. She is renowned for incorporating motifs of traditional Portuguese glazed tiles (azulejos), revealing visceral, corporeal elements beneath their ruptured decorative surfaces. Varejão has a dedicated pavilion at the Inhotim Cultural Institute in Minas Gerais, Brazil.
