GIULIANE SAMPAIO
Brazil
Giuliane Sampaio (b. 1987) is a graphic designer by training and a lettering artist by passion. She has lived and worked in Porto since 2018, where she’s studying for a master's degree in Graphic Design and Editorial Projects, at Belas Artes do Porto.
Her contact with the “universe of letters” began in 2014, when she joined the collective Tipografeed (Goiânia, Brazil), an experience that proved to be a parallel school to her practice. Since then, she has considered “letters” as an art and craft, whether in commissioned or authorial graphic projects, finished digitally or manually, her greatest fascination being to paint letters on a large scale.
Giuliane believes that raising awareness of “looking at letters” arises not only from learning and recovering the 'manual process' of the art of writing, but also from the intention of 'giving voice to letters' and the challenge of expressing the visual potential that a word or message can assume or transmit.
