Mila Bernardo is a Brazilian visual artist whose work is characterized mainly by the transformation of materials such as books, records, objects found in the trash and in second-hand stores, into works of art that transcend their initial form to give way to new narratives that go beyond the conventional, exploring philosophical, political and social issues.

 

By repurposing these seemingly ordinary materials into provocative works of art, it also addresses the theme of consumerism, with each piece serving as a reminder of the transitory nature of material possessions and the potential for beauty and value that can be found in what others might discard.

 

In terms of technique, her work goes beyond traditional mediums such as acrylics and oils, incorporating the use of wood, embroidery and sculptures, adding depth and complexity to her creations, resulting in unique pieces that are conceptually rich.
