Gallery
The way Samantha Messias creates her drawings is not about trying to reproduce every exact detail, texture and contrast from the reference material. It's about adding something that wasn't there before, intensifying and manipulating details, contrasts and textures, awakening emotion, life and curiosity into the heart of the observer, not just into the artwork itself.
