Emília Castellan was born in Brazil, on August 7th 1951, in Rio de Janeiro. At the age 12,
her first "gouache" paintings emerged, when she discovered her passion for drawing and she started
drawing portraits of her relatives. She reestablished contact with art at the age 38. Since the beginning
of her career, she already showed her talent for art. In 1994, she entered "Sociedade Brasileira de Belas
Artes" an art school, being tutored by Dario Silva. That was when she developed her painting skills, and
she had the oppurtunity to perform some pieces that required more advanced techniques.

With the support of her friends and family, she started selling her works, and she became part of the
hippie market of Ipanema, at General Osorio square. Her paintings are spread all over Brazil and in
30 countries of the world, and she has sold over 2800 pieces.
Since 1996, she has been painting artistic nude paintings. When she paints the human forms, she seeks
her idealisms by having new creative ideas with more vitality and artistic expressions. Ever since she
started doing it, she has attracted all kind of buyers, and her fame has crossed brazilian borders.
With her bold and expressive shapes, she can be recognized anywhere.
"Paintings are my daily prayer. Its how I talk to God. I have in my mind projects that will keep me
busy for the next 400 years!"
