Artist Profile - Waleska Nomura, by EdgeArt on May 6, 2008 17:51:09 GMT 1, Waleska is a graffiti artist from Sao Paulo, Brazil and currently lives in England. She got in contact with graffiti in 1986, when her older brother Tinho started to do graffiti. But she only started painting in 1997, when her brother started a graffiti workshop in Sao Paulo, where she was taught alongside Titi Freak and Zezao the traditional techniques of wild style graffiti lettering.
Years later, she moved to live in London to continue her graffiti career where she met her husband and fellow artist Adam Neate. Together they travelled to different countries painting alongside each other. As their work developed together, Waleska started to introduce characters in her work and began to move away from graffiti lettering and more towards developing her own personal style and little world of characters. The public's reaction to her work was met with great happiness, as people, young and old would stand to enjoy her paint her colourful walls.
At the same time of introducing her characters in different countries, the idea evolved for starting her own project entitled "Spreading the Love and Positive Energies to the World" This project is 5 years strong and she wishes to continue her message with every wall she paints. She is also a self taught artist who has also exhibited paintings in London,Paris, Brazil, Tokyo, N.Y and L.A.
Waleska's canvas work is available here: www.edgeart.co.uk/department/waleska_nomura/
