ABOUT GUIDA

Guida Pereira crashed into her art...literally.

​

Following a car accident that led to the near loss of her left arm in 2003, Pereira recovered, discovering a whole new purpose for her right one.

​

Well into her rehabilitation, Guida began putting paintbrush to canvas, experimenting with acrylic, oil, organic textures and metallics. What resulted was the start of a collection demonstrating a fearless delivery of bold colour fuelled by uninhibited emotion, learned experiences and nostalgia.



Born in December of 1963, the self-taught artist takes inspiration from her birthplace, Macau, making her abstract style an eclectic mixture of Chinese and Portuguese influences.

​

Inspired by, but far from, a wreck, Pereira's work depicts her journey through life one canvas at a time - starting from humble beginnings, but anticipating no end to her storytelling strokes.
