Tatiana Amaral

Tatiana was born in São Paulo, Brazil, and has been based in Perth since 2006. Her early art practice began with creating collages using pieces of paper from her father’s books, a process that helped her overcome the challenges of dyslexia. Working with paper became second nature to Tatiana, akin to the way a painter uses a brush.

Drawing from her Brazilian heritage, Tatiana's work is characterized by vibrant colours and textures, which she combines to evoke the beauty of Western Australia’s landscapes. Through her use of rag and rice paper, Tatiana creates dynamic pieces that reflect the coastal and inland landscapes of WA, with overlapping layers that produce depth and subtle textures.

In the past three years, Tatiana has won six prestigious art awards in Western Australia and was invited to contribute three works to Acervo Rotativo in Brazil, curated by Laerte Ramos. Her art has been featured in multiple exhibitions across the region, including the City of Gosnells Art Awards and the Mid West Art Prize Exhibition.

Tatiana's work continues to be sought after for its originality, craftsmanship, and the emotional depth it carries, reflecting her personal journey and deep connection to the land.
