_{Bruna Massadas has developed a distinctive style that merges the tropical vistas of her native Brazil with the volcanic formations of her current surroundings in Montana. Massadas’ paintings envision a world of abundant space and color, yet also one of solitude and introspection. This duality invites viewers into a meditative exploration of both external and internal landscapes.

By exploring themes of nature, abstraction, and personal expression, Massadas magnifies her subjects—volcanos, landscapes, sunsets —inviting viewers to see them in new ways, beyond their conventional interpretations. Her work often distills complex natural elements into simplified yet deeply evocative forms, emphasizing the interplay between light, shadow, and space. Sensuality and vitality are highlighted by reimagining these delicate organic structures as powerful, almost abstract compositions.

From 2018–2021 Massadas exhibited with Binder of Women, and from 2016–2018 she was a member of CTRL+SHFT collective. Recently her work has been exhibited at The Pit (Los Angeles), Bozomag (Los Angeles), My Pet Ram (New York), and Gallery 16 (San Francisco). She also exhibited in two-person shows with Raymie Iadevaia (2022, Bozomag) and Daniel Gibson (2017, Some.Time.Salon). Massadas earned her BFA at California State University, Fullerton (2009) and MFA at California College of the Arts, San Francisco, California (2012). In 2025, she was awarded a Creative West Grant; she had a solo exhibition at de boer Gallery, Los Angeles, California. Massadas is represented by McClain Gallery; her first solo exhibition, The Edge of the World, with the gallery was in May 2025.}
