Raquel Fornasaro is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice includes video, oil paintings, sculpture, installation, digital art, and land art. Born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil, her artistic practice is rooted in the examination of the relationship between urban development and the environment, with a critical focus on the implications of our colonial capitalist economic system.

Currently based in Boston, her work has been exhibited in galleries, universities, and museums, including the Brazilian Consulate in Boston, Harvard's Crossings Gallery, the FSU Museum of Fine Arts, MIT's Media Lab, the Tioga Museum, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

Fornasaro is a passionate supporter of STEAM education, frequently collaborating with scientists to seamlessly weave scientific elements into her artistic expression. This harmonious blend of science and art serves as a powerful lens through which she reflects on our values and the urgent ecological challenges we face in the present day. Rooted in symbolism, mythology, and allegory, her work explores themes of beauty, decay, and the intricate interplay between urban and natural elements. Her overarching goal is to not only inform but also to inspire and empower viewers, encouraging them to become catalysts for positive change.
