SIMONE LINO

August 10th, 1978, on a sunny afternoon in Minas Gerais, a Brazilian artist was born.

Simone Lino: dancer, singer, painter… Lino took dance classes from the age of 7 and at 10 learned how to samba like a true Brazilian native and at 13 started to perform professionally at the Carnaval.

Lino’s parents always kept Lino busy with artistic activities. From the age of 9 she took art classes three times per week which became a passion.

She sang professionally in local venues and in the choir of Parana University of Arts (FAP) from 2001-2003, took stage classes in 2004, formed a hip-hop band from 1998-2001 and a funk/soul/R&B band from 2000-2003.

Simone Lino has painted all her life, with oil being her preferred medium. Since moving from Rio de Janeiro to Philadelphia in 2005, she reconnected with her art to fill in the absence of her parents and family.

Lino, also known as “Dona Yayá” in her paintings, expresses herself through freedom of colors, leaving ample room for the viewers’ imagination.

With her bright and happy personality she has always been involved in art in one-way or another.

Lino’s debut at Vivant Gallery will expose the public to a new vision of Brazil.

Art is what moves her forward and the sky is her limit!
