Maria Nepomuceno

Maria Nepomuceno is a Brazilian artist born in 1976 in Rio de Janeiro, known for her elaborate, large-scale installations and sculptures that incorporate rope, beads, ceramics, and organic materials in densely woven, spiraling forms. Her work draws deeply on Brazilian craft traditions, indigenous knowledge, and the feminine, creating immersive environments that explore themes of growth, interconnectedness, and the cosmos. She has gained international recognition through major exhibitions and biennials, and her vibrant, tactile works challenge the boundaries between craft and contemporary fine art.
