I'm featuring an artwork today that seemed to grab me and sweep me into its torrent of paint. This is a recent purchase by the Phoenix Art Museum. It's by the artist Marina Perez Simao. I don't know much about Ms. Simao except that she is Brazilian and was born in 1980. A search of her name found many links to galleries who have represented her or featured a show of her paintings but I could find very little about her life or education. All I know is that the brilliant swirls of paint in her paintings create dreamscapes that one can float right into. Here is a link to an ArtNet article about her work.
