Heloisa Maria Costa Cardoso Rodrigues Ackermann

Born and raised in São Paulo, studies and specializations in several higher art academies and 15 years partner of my own studio. Since 2005, I live and work in Bern where I develop and realize artistic projects on walls and art exhibitions. Complementary to this work, I offer workshops in which I pass on my many years of experience to interested people.

Through an exercise of perception and in the constant search for a deepening of meanings, I capture images, colors and textures in a large universe. Always influenced by nature and its organic forms, I make associations when creating overlays, providing sensations between figure and background, to the observer’s eyes. I do not limit myself to a single domain, my technique is varied and my own, resulting from more than three decades of painting. Through it I seek to associate great sensitivity and emotional warmth in my works.
They are a tribute to the tranquility, beauty and harmony of nature.

My works can be seen in residential and commercial environments such as, entrance halls, hotels, stores and restaurants. Numerous works as well as participation in art shows and exhibitions have been featured in respected publications.

Parallel to my art, I have been working as an art therapist since 2018 in my own practice in Bern. Offering a differentiated therapy in the integration of Gestalt Art Therapy and basic medicine, recognized by the Swiss complementary medicine health insurance.

Curriculum Vitae

HOME SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL

My artwork would not be the same if it were not the result of a rich background in impressions and positive life experiences in my time in São Paulo. This constantly reinventing, booming metropolis combines a multitude of different cultures into a unique performance that is constantly in flux. This attitude to life continues to be an important source of inspiration for me. Cultural understanding, joie de vivre, sincere emotionality and living and cultivating family ties are important pillars in my life, whether in Switzerland or in Brazil.

  • INSPIRAÇÃO

    O tom de uma pedra
    encontrada em uma viagem,
    as folhas vistas
    através da janela,
    rabiscos do passado…
    tudo isso é inspiração!

    Momento em que o ar
    Penetra adentro,
    tateando no escuro da mente
    por uma abertura,
    lançando luz
    sobre um objeto
    fazendo-nos vê-lo melhor.

    – sem pensamento racional –
    revelando apenas
    o nem sempre visível,

    transcorrendo,
    transformando,
    dando nova forma
    ao sentir.

  • INSPIRATION

    The color tones of a stone,
    encountered on a trip.
    The shape of the leaves
    looking out my window,
    scribbling, sketches of the past
    all this ist inspiration!

    A moment when the air enters
    touching in the mind darkness,
    searching for an opening
    for the light to be thrown on an object
    for a clear perception.

    – without rational thinking –
    the sometimes non-visible comes to vision.

    Transgressing,
    transforming,
    giving a new form to feeling.
