Daniela Guerreiro

Portuguese artist Daniela Guerreiro transforms walls into paintings that almost appear to be made of oil paint. Her background in painting can be seen in every brushstroke. She puts the spotlight on people who are often overlooked: those struggling with loneliness, social exclusion or depression. With her powerful, unconventional images, she gives them a voice and colour to raw emotions. Her work feels vulnerable and monumental at the same time, which makes it a perfect fit for the idiosyncratic streetscape of Ostend.
