Brazilian artist Nina Pandolfo brings her imaginative and whimsical painted girls to New York City with the opening of a mural and gallery show at the Coburn Project’s Rivington Street Gallery. Pandolfo, a noted graffiti artist from São Paulo, was part of a generation of artists in the 90s who evolved the graffiti medium and brought street art to galleries and museums worldwide. Her subjects often have big open eyes and sweet child-like complexions. She employs a style that is highly technical and detailed, inspired often by the “lightness and beauty of simplicity.”

“It is about the little details, little things that sometimes pass unnoticed in our life, although it is often in these small details where we find and recognize the joy, peace or even a moment of purity,” Pandolfo says. “We often forget how beautiful it is to lie in the grass, looking up into the moving shapes of a treetop. During childhood these things make us wonder and transform the day in a special way but later on we often disregard or leave them aside.”
