Canvas in Bloom

Canvas in Bloom is a celebration of the spirit and symbolism behind the ginger flower. In many cultures, the ginger flower represents strength, resilience, and new beginnings. Its vibrant pink hues symbolise passion, love, and a zest for life. The painting encapsulates the idea of life in bloom—a reminder that even in the most challenging moments, there is beauty, strength, and the promise of new beginnings.

My name is Louise Bastos, a self-taught artist, muralist, and creative workshops facilitator. Born and raised in Brazil, I found my home on the Sunshine Coast over a decade ago. I've been painting for around 10 years and professionally started 5 years ago. I work with acrylic paint using loose brushstrokes.

My art is a reflection of my inspiration , imagination and deep connection with people and nature. I mostly paint botanicals (fun fact about me - I graduated as Biologist in university). I believe in the transformative power of art. I call my style contemporary impressionism and through my vivid paintings I invite you to use your mind's eye and discover the creativity that lies within each of us. Big love, Lou.
