Júlia Martins Miranda’s PINDORAMA series is a luminous tribute to origin, memory, and the rhythms of her Brazilian roots. This series transforms poetry and music into a vivid symphony of color, where the warmth of the sun and the pulse of ancestral sounds shape each composition.
“Pindorama”, meaning “land of the palm trees,” is the name the indigenous Tupi-Guarani people gave to their homeland—centuries before it became known as Brazil. Miranda’s works honor this deep history, drawing from the verses of Adélia Prado, the melodies of Tom Jobim, and the spirit of Brazil’s cultural tapestry. Each painting is an emotional landscape—bold, rhythmic, and alive—where orange becomes the sun’s embrace, light becomes movement, and every brushstroke echoes with the cadence of a distant song.
Miranda’s speaks about the painting Jardins de Sol &amp; Trópico:
“A welcome to my garden, where flowers bloom all year long. “Gardens of Sun” and “Tropic” are analogies for what I hope to create wherever I go - an idea of life rooted in happiness. The bold colors and organic forms embody not only the warmth of the sun but also the life and energy flowing through the land and its people. The simplicity and vibrancy in these painting reflect the essence of Pindorama.”
About the series:“[this series is] an ode to life and joy, and celebrates feelings that are deeply associated with my own roots, my land, my family, and the environment that defines an important piece of who I am. It captures the warmth, vibrancy, rhythms, and movement of my Pindorama, and honors a culture that I love and carry with me no matter where I am. The Pindorama series is an invitation to enter my universe through a symphony of colors that evoke the spirit and sounds of my homeland.”
