Batik an ancient Indonesian art
I started developing my artistic skills through Batik, an ancient Indonesian art form that my mother taught me and my siblings.
My name is Karuã, and I'm a graphic designer, illustrator, and tattoo artist. I was born into a family of artists on a farm in Santa Catarina, Brazil. Growing up on a place called "Tudo é Arte" (Everything is Art) since my childhood, I have always been enchanted by this lifestyle—being able to live and transmit the power of art. Influenced by nature, the beach, and the simple things in life, I grew up in a community of creative and happy people.
I started developing my artistic skills through Batik, an ancient Indonesian art form that my mother taught me and my siblings.
With the aim of channeling my creativity and love for artistic and cultural expressions, I decided to create a multicultural space called APUANA. This initiative has grown into a renowned cultural center in my hometown, attracting people from all over Brazil with its music events, art fairs, gastronomy, sports, workshops, and theatrical performances. Combining my skills as a designer with my artistic perspective, I have been able to create memorable experiences for everyone involved.
These experiences have connected me with nature and strengthened my passion for events that bring people together in an atmosphere of joy and entertainment.
Currently, I am embarking on a journey around the world with the goal of experiencing new cultures and enriching my artistic and cultural perception. Leaving traces of my art wherever I go, I am living my dream of combining art and my passion for travel. This allows me to explore different artistic expressions worldwide, incorporating and adding these influences to my own unique style.
My story is a blend of artistic talent, spirituality, and an unwavering quest for new cultural experiences. My dedication to art, coupled with my connection to nature, people, and my ability to create joyful and positive atmospheres, makes me a well-rounded artist and a creative entrepreneur.
