ABOUT
Bruna Battistini Ferreira Costa is a Brazilian‑Italian artist, curator, and architect whose work moves between art, public space, and collective creation. Born in São Paulo and shaped by experiences in Spain, Switzerland, and France, she develops a hybrid visual language that connects body, territory, and community.
She holds a Master’s in Public Space and Urban Regeneration from the University of Barcelona and a Bachelor’s in Architecture and Urbanism from the University of Belas Artes de São Paulo, complemented by training in painting and visual arts.
Her practice combines architectural thinking, drawing, and participatory methodologies to create spaces of encounter and shared imagination.
Working with recycled and organic materials, textile fibers, clay, and digital media, she explores sustainability as both material and metaphor. Her projects span urban interventions, studio work, and educational experiences that invite people to learn through touch, play, and transformation.
“Art is a means of connecting with others and a way of understanding one’s surroundings”
