“My art is timeless. I don’t follow the market—I follow my soul.”
There are artists who create for the world — and then there are those who create from the world within. Larissa Linhares, the Brazilian painter whose acrylics shimmer with spirit and story, belongs to the latter. Her art feels like a heartbeat — steady, raw, and deeply human — echoing the rhythm of Brazil’s most sacred landscape: the Amazon.
In her canvases, one finds more than color — one finds consciousness. Every brushstroke whispers of rainforests and rituals, of roots and revelations. For Larissa, art is not a product to be sold; it’s a soul to be shared.
The Amazon as Her Muse
Born and raised amid the emerald expanse of the Amazon, Larissa grew up surrounded by life in its purest form — lush greenery, vibrant wildlife, and the unbroken harmony of nature. It was there, in that sacred ecosystem, that she learned to see beyond sight.
“The forest taught me to feel energy,” she recalls. “Each tree, each river, each sound carries emotion. I try to translate that vibration into paint.”
What began as a childhood pastime of sketching turned into a spiritual practice in adulthood. Acrylics became her chosen medium, and nature her greatest muse. Every painting she creates radiates an organic vitality — a fusion of movement, mystery, and meaning. Her work invites viewers to pause, breathe, and reconnect with the forgotten language of nature.
Each canvas carries an unseen pulse — what she calls “the energy field of the soul.” Through her art, Larissa invites us to sense that energy, to go beyond the surface and experience emotion in its pure form.
An Artistic Philosophy That Defies Convention
In a world where art is often dictated by trends and markets, Larissa Linhares stands as a quiet rebel. She paints not for galleries, but for grace.
“A project starts with a feeling and an image,” she says. “I never think about what people want to see. I just express what I feel.”
Her process is intuitive — guided by dreams, memories, and the deep hum of her surroundings. That unfiltered honesty gives her art its universal resonance. Whether displayed in New York or Venice, her paintings speak a language that transcends borders — the language of spirit.
Larissa’s exhibitions have traveled from Venice to Paris, Madrid to Miami, and across Rio de Janeiro, where her work has been praised for its fusion of strength and serenity. Each showcase allows her to share the Amazonian spirit with the world — a reminder that authenticity still holds beauty in an age of imitation.
Redefining Success
For Larissa Linhares, success has nothing to do with fame or fortune. “Success is being able to live your truth,” she says softly. “Do what you love, appreciate life, and stay close to those who make your heart feel alive.”
This philosophy shines through her art — each piece a reflection of peace, purpose, and presence. “When I finish an artwork that feels true, I feel alive,” she adds. “It’s like capturing a part of my soul and setting it free.”
Her paintings, therefore, are more than artistic expressions — they are emotional self-portraits. Each color carries a confession; each texture, a whisper of self-discovery.
Looking Ahead: From Canvas to Culture
Larissa’s journey is far from complete. With every exhibition, she pushes the boundaries of how art can connect and heal. Her future vision expands beyond traditional canvases — she dreams of translating her paintings into fashion and design, creating wearable art that carries the essence of the Amazon into everyday life.
“I want people to feel nature,” she explains. “Not just see it on walls, but wear it, live it, and remember that we are all part of it.”

A Soul That Paints the Earth
Larissa Linhares is more than a painter — she is a messenger of the Earth. Her art speaks to the eternal relationship between humanity and nature, reminding us of the sacred connection we often forget.
In every brushstroke lies a prayer; in every hue, a heartbeat. Through her art, she preserves what is most precious — authenticity, beauty, and the spirit of Brazil itself.
Her timeless message is simple yet profound: to create is to feel, to feel is to live, and to live is to love — deeply, freely, and truthfully.
