This painting was created during the Rio Art Residency in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from June 17th – 23rd, 2024. The inspiration for this piece stems from a trip to Rio eight years ago, with the residency reigniting my deep appreciation for this vibrant country. The painting 'Cidade Maravilhosa' represents Rio as a Marvelous City and a tribute to the city's natural beauty. For Rio, while there is beauty everywhere, the beach is a common place to be with friends and family.
