Heloisa Novaes was born in São João del
Rei in the state of Minas Gerais. She left Brazil in
1973 to study engraving at the National College of Arts
in Paris, where she still lives and works.
Encouraged
by the designer Saul Steinberg, the
artist
has contributed illustrations to newspapers and magazines
such as The Times, the New York Times, Esquire, Le Nouvel
Observateur and L’Express, and also to the publishers
Robert Laffont and Gallimard.

Heloisa
Novaes
uses a variety of techniques (gouache, oil, crayon and watercolour)
to create a mysterious and sensual world through a personal
iconography of feminine figures, fantastical animals and Jungian
symbols. Her pallet is composed of light, elegant colours
with which she produces a deep, transparent texture that is
profoundly expressive of her native country and the world
around her.
Her
work has been widely exhibited in Brazil and Europe.
