Priscila De Carvalho (American, born in Brazil) is an artist working with painting, drawing, sculpture, site-specific and public art installations.

Ms. Priscila de Carvalho creates a work that combines various media including acrylic, vinyl, permanent marker, pencil, photo collage and three dimensional objects adhered to the wall. The work combines the influence of Pop Art, Spanish informalism, the monumentality of mural painting, and a reverence for architectural forms. With these varied sources, the artist overlays a complex variety of objects and shapes together, creating a frenetic, laden, urban landscape. Her work is focus on the economic, social and political issues of uncontrolled urbanization of the slums dwellers. Her works convey the complexity, chaos, and paradoxes of contemporary life that affect America, her native Brazil, and all of humanity in the age globalization. Revealing the sense of a huge population constantly on the move, her installations are marked by intense colors and the lines of ever-present winding streets and stairways.
