Unique combination
Art and design have lots of things in common, one of them is the constant search of inspiration and the seeking of tactile emotions. The art of Geovana Clea is the perfect example of this constant research: the artist finds inspiration in the woods, watching the waterfalls and admiring the natural stones, a never-ending relationship with natural elements, materials and sensations that are transferred on canvas to communicate the power of nature.
Geovana Clea
Geovana Cléa was born in Brazil in 1977. She studied art and Italian language in Florence during the 90s.
For more than twenty years, the artist presented her work internationally in various art scenes, among many New York, London, Amsterdam, Montecarlo, Basel, Milan, Lisbon, and Paris.
Along with numerous exhibitions, Geovana also participated with four paintings at the 54th Biennale di Venezia directed by Vittorio Sgarbi and won a prize at the National Salon des Beaux-Arts at the Louvre, in Paris. This Salon is better known as the “salon of the impressionists” of Paris.
The artist is also present in two literary publications and is an immortal member of the Academy of Science, Literature, and Arts of São Paulo where she was appointed a chair and later a gold medal in 2015 for her exceptional artistic career.
In recent years, Geovana funded her gallery Emotions of The World (EOTW Gallery) and was part of various collaborations with well-known Italian luxury designer brands. Geovana is an abstract expressionist and naturalist, she aims to recreate the natural
effects of the Earth through her colors. She is deeply in love with water, wood, gold, crystals, quartz, and other types of rocks. In truth, these elements can be seen in all of her creations, reflecting the strong influence of Geology in her creative process.
Geovana Cléa for Giorgio Collection, or simply GC for GC, is an ideal collaboration since the refined creations inspired by natural elements blend just perfectly with the luxurious Italian furniture of Giorgio Collection. This is a luxury firm of refined taste, class, and indisputable elegance in the international home furnishing scene.
When we first saw Geovana’s works, we felt very clearly the direct dialogue between the artist and nature, a dialogue that we wanted to expand in our collections, in our atmospheres, in our vision of design. The aim of this collaboration is to celebrate nature in all its forms, using its elements as a tactile connection between art and interior design. Quartz dust, volcanic ash, liquid metals and crystals are worked with acrylic paint to obtain unique and unrepeatable objects of art, perfectly matching our collections atmospheres.
