INSIDE OUT REVERSE
“Inside Out Reverse” body of work is composed of a series of diptychs exploring the dichotomy of emotions inherent to the lives of citizens of the world and their hybrid hearts with multiple homes. In between the “ME” here and the “ME” elsewhere, there is a void occupied by my heart that merges, expands and flows between both worlds.
Under the visible personas, there is a multitude of layers of concealed emotions and feelings that resist, exist, and coexist that are not detachable from our existences.

"The Continuous Dialogue Between Intuition and Rationality Throughout Life - Chapters I, II and III"
When I was creating “The Continuous Dialogue Between Intuition and Rationality Throughout Life - ChaptersI, II and III" I found myself pondering the intricate interplay of intuition and rationality throughout my life journey. The background colours of the triptych mirror the different phases of my own existence. In my reflection, the black strokes vividly embody the enduring presence of intuition that has been with me from the very outset. Conversely, the white strokes poignantly signify the rationality that society impressed upon my early years.
And now, as I stand in the present moment, I find that I trust more in my own intuition. This artwork, in essence is a visual narrative of my personal odyssey through the interplay of these fundamental forces, as testament to my evolving relationship with them.
The triptych is partially stretched and beautifully framed in solid rimu wood. Acrylics on canvas. Framed size: 135cm (w) x 61cm (h) x 3.5cm (d)
Total measurements: 60cm (H) x 1.30m (W)
THE LELEES
THE LELEES is a calligraphic collaboration between Roberta and marquetry artist Rick Allender. Pieces of wood veneer are inscribed with a colourful and playful set of repeating free-form graphics. The variation of timbers and paint colours amalgamate into a hexaptych showing iterations of graphical whimsies

Roberta queiroga
About me
My work is created in a symbiosis between me and the canvas allowing my raw emotions to spontaneously flow with minimum interference when creating. I was born in Brazil and have been living abroad for over 20 years. I believe my identity, and ultimately my art practice, are heavily informed by the places, cultures and people I come across such as Japan, Portugal and Aotearoa New Zealand. My background is in Architecture and I am interested in the relationship between the artwork, the viewer and the space.
My work is aligned with the Abstract Expressionism
