New Skin

New Skin | Original Painting

A reflection on renewal — the quiet courage it takes to release what no longer fits and step into a new season of self.
Transformation is rarely loud. It happens beneath the surface, in unseen layers, where growth begins long before it blooms. To move through intense energies, we are invited to soften, to shed emotional weight, and to trust the unfolding path ahead.

Allow the clearing to happen — but don’t build a home there. Keep moving. Stay open. Let new light in.
This piece holds the energy of protection and grounded strength — a gentle talisman for balance, clarity, and harmonious flow throughout the year.

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.
