"In the fragments, we find the whole. My art is a dialogue between the hidden and the revealed — a bridge between worlds, where identity dissolves into vision."
Biography
Sephora Venites is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice spans performance, video, painting, photography, and technology.
Her multifaceted approach merges technical precision with intuitive experimentation, crafting visual narratives that transcend aesthetic and conceptual boundaries.
Beyond her work in the visual arts, Sephora is a dedicated actress, bringing a broad perspective to her roles in film and television. Her credits include the independent feature Liquid Love (2018) by Vitor Steinberg, inspired by Zygmunt Bauman's writings; Matthew John's contemporary adaptation of Hedda Gabler ; Andrew Arthur's romantic comedy Love at First Swipe; and the acclaimed series Mr. Selfridge (2013).
A graduate of Barcelona's Institut Català de la Moda in costume design and editing, Sephora applies her expertise in visual storytelling to push the boundaries of art and identity. In collaboration with photographers such as Paul Winstone, Nick Delaney, and Jonas Tucci, she developed a fine art photography series paying tribute to Frida Kahlo, reinterpreting her iconic aesthetic through a contemporary lens.
Her work masterfully bridges traditional and contemporary media, creating art that is both timeless and cutting-edge. Inspired by movements like Dadaism, Sephora's projects explore philosophical themes through vivid visual metaphors, questioning the nature of art itself.
With a bold and visceral style that echoes her Brazilian roots and the lush landscapes of her childhood, Sephora reinvents imagery and narrative within the digital age, challenging the concept of authenticity in a "copy-paste" culture.
