Larissa de Souza, born in São Paulo, Brazil in 1995, is a self-taught artist who explores materiality and visual language through figurative depictions. Focused on the Afro-Brazilian woman, de Souza explores the distinctions between the private and the community space in depictions of scenes both real and imagined, drawing on her own experiences as well as those of others. Her works explore memory, the body, ancestry and communal narratives, and desire. Her paintings employ fabric, found objects, resin, collage, and embroidery. Using personal iconographic images taken from lived experiences, de Souza crafts environments that suggest both the physical and figurative spaces that we inhabit.

De Souza’s work has been exhibited nationally in Brazil as well as internationally. She has shown at the Museu de Arte do Rio, the Museu de Arte São Paulo, and the HOA Tour Gallery in São Paulo as well as at The Pit in Los Angeles and Albertz Benda Gallery in both New York and Los Angeles.
