Graduated in Fine Arts at the Fundação Armando Álvares Penteado [FAAP], in São Paulo, Renata Meirelles has, throughout her trajectory, constantly enhancing research and experimentation, from which spawn the bases for the creation of a unique constructive system that blends manual, digital and industrial techniques.

In a constant state of evolution, her works are built over time, incorporating new ideas and techniques in a feedback loop. Over this course, the artist makes use of various practices and references, conveying new meanings and applications to them while not, however, losing her identity.

In a production wandering among art, design and contemporary jewellery making, Renata combines the loom, crochet, laser cutting, thermal bonding and 3D printing along with fabrics and threads as the main raw material to create pieces from cutouts and hollowed wefts. Using an original language, she employs such tools to develop modular and timeless graphical patterns, such as needleless laces, that, even when scale varies, maintain their delicacy.

Organized and grouped by similarities in shape and constructive processes, those patterns originate families, which expand, reproduce, and break up into different times and spaces, originating installations, sculptures, panels, sceneries, objects and pieces that the artist defines as “wearable sculptures.” From those families arise collections and series that comprise unique pieces and their unfoldings, at times in partnerships with other artists and designers.

Although the borders among the areas are fluid, her work can be split into three large groups: collections, author jewellery, and projects.
